The paper examines alternative policies for achieving more efficient resource utilization in the Indus Basin. Using a simulation model which links the hydrology of a conjunctive stream aquifer system to an economic model of agricultural production for each of 53 regions of the basin together with a network model of the flows in river reaches, link canals and irrigation canals throughout the basin, the authors have studied the joint effect of various canal water allocation and associated private tubewell pumping control policies on overall system efficiency. The results suggest that large gains in agricultural production are possible given more efficient policies. However, there are significant adjustment costs in the form of large required drainage investments. The model was then adapted to assess sequentially a proposed investment program of the Water and Power Development Authority of Pakistan. The program components were aggregated into homogenous sets and evaluated. The report concludes with a discussion of the results of this exercise.
