The major issues that must be tackled are ground water mining and the inefficient use of the resource. The strategy will be to manage ground water on a sustainable use basis. If properly managed, the resource will be available in the long term. Shifting from the present practice of ground water mining to sustainable use requires a great deal of planning. It also means evaluating some current practices, such as the use of delay action dams, to ensure that human and financial resources are efficiently and effectively deployed.
Agriculture places the heaviest demand on the resource.
A round table will be established for the purpose. The development of a sense of vision is urgently needed at a time when some orchard owners are cutting down their trees due to lack of economic viability or lack of water, while others are busy installing new wells and planting more fruit trees . A sovereign Balochistan Water Board will be established initially for Pishin Lora Basin by expanding the mandate of the recently established Provincial Water Management Authority and restructuring or linking the existing water related bodies to improve water management. The jurisdiction of this Board will be expanded to other river basins. Ideally, there should be one Board for each of the 14 river basins in Balochistan.
