Pakistan’s Water Sector Adaptation Actions
• Trans-boundary joint watershed management
• Declaring glaciated areas as ‘protected areas’
• Strengthening the present hydrological network on urgent basis
• Enhancing national research capacities
• Adding to country’s current storage capacity (new dams and
groundwater recharge)
