Assesses water harvesting potential in Pakistan, suggesting strategies to enhance water security amid climate risks.

The aim is to assess Pakistan's water harvesting potential and identify areas requiring urgent intervention.
Developed indices including water harvesting potential (WHP) and storage urgency index (SUI).
Integrated hydrometeorology data, physiographic conditions, and land use.
Conducted flow severity analysis of key reservoirs since 2015.
Significant increases in rainfall trends noted since 2010 across various districts.
Disparities identified in SUI and WHP, with Rahim Yar Khan, Rajanpur, Jamshoro, and Tharparkar as top-priority areas.
Approximately 60% of the net command area in high-priority districts is viable after excluding risks from flooding and salinity.

Ahmad et al. (2026) studied this question.
