Huge loss of water in the Irrigation System of the Indus Basin has resulted in the menace of water logging and salinity whereas there is less water available at farmers' fields than the actual crop water requirements. There are a considerable amount of losses in watercourse conveyance system resulting in more than 30 million acre feet of water loss annually in 87,000 watercourses of the Indus Basin. It is the need of the time to make the farmers aware of the extent of water course delivery losses for effective implementation of watercourse improvement programs.
