Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR) is going to execute a plan for use of "Low Quality Groundwater for Sustainable Crop Production (ALP-PARC funded)", with a total cost of Rs 1.70 million.
According to official sources, the overall objective of this project was to develop and test strategies for conjunctive use of surface and low quality groundwater using cyclic and mixing modes at the farm level.
The specific objectives are:- to estimate quality and status of groundwater use in the selected target area; design and test strategies for cyclic and mixing modes for saline and sodic groundwater, respectively; estimate the potential cropped area and cropping intensity under both strategies and water availability at the farm level.
