What Indus Means for Pakistan
90% of Pakistan’s people and more than three-quarters of its economy resides in the Indus Basin.
More than 80% of Pakistan’s arable land is irrigated by its waters.
Nine out of the ten largest cities in Pakistan are situated within 50 km or less of the waters of Indus; the one exception being Quetta
The Indus River has served as the vibrant core of the social, cultural, and economic life of what is today called Pakistan for well over a documented 5,000 years. But, today, one is forced to wonder if it will be able to do so even for another 100 years?
“No danger is more existential to today's Pakistan than the perils of unabated climate change and the havoc it could play with the Indus Basin"
