River Indus 2

[FlourishPakistan]

It may be possible in the future to create artificial rivers to greenify the whole country.

Gaddafi was a genius.

'They' killed him.

Wow, what a noble idea.
Where there is a will, there is a way!
I hope one day we can preserve the fresh water that is wasted every year - a non-forgivable crime!

It has been done in history many times not first time.

Israel (Jaqob) peace be upon Him's son joseph ( Yusuf) peace be upon him did it in egypt.

Chinese did that on yellow river . so not the first time.

Where would the water come from for artificial rivers?
BTW, our irrigation system is sort of same thing in a way that it makes water reach places where it can be used for agriculture

Just look at chinese agricultral system its the best in the world right now. With artificial riviers and streams. Even water goes backwards upstream like in opposite direction when they want it to go in oppositie direction with help of gates etc

We need to better manage the water that does flow through out country, but in terms of expanding the green cover of our country we need to manage rain water supplies, small streams and local aquifers.

If we manage small areas in thousands of little mountain valleys across KPK, Baluchistan, Punjab, and Sindh, we can create places like the following

Once you have a stable water supply, shaping the terrain to expanding outwards becomes possible. Planting the right kinds of trees and scrubs will improve soil quality.

A good article to read in this regard

The Chinese are working on this already

There are various methods.

I was thinking of bringing back life to dried up rivers of "punjab" (not punjab anymore because of the dry rivers)

change punjab to dusab (land of ten rivers) or more.

One of the methods may turn land into sea so not a good idea.

I was also thinking of Indus 2,3,4,5,..10 !

Theoretical that's why i just stated "Indus 2" in the OP.

But this doesn't answer my question. Where would the water come from?
One of the many problems with water in Indus is that it has to maintain a decent level when it merges into Arabian Sea otherwise, the sea water returns backward and destroys cultivatable land in in and around Badin.

The best- long lasting-approach would be to work on two fronts:

1. Later Reservoirs to catch extra water and maintain decent flow for Indus Delta in the south
   
2. Water Conservation for crops as well as industrial/domestic usage

I can't tell if you are serious of messing around....
