Scientists say Indian farmers draining Pakistan’s waters

[RazPaK]

That's an oxymoron if I ever heard one..

Ask the bhartee that is crying to me about it.

 

[Cheetah786]

So what they want us to about it

I like planetwarriors suggestion lets go to war

 

[Bobby]

No idiot....Pakistani shops does not supply that much....I talked about preferences! kindly do not twist my words!



There is no choice and there is love....when you steal our water to grow your products...we have no choice but to buy SOME...that is not love...that is forced!

Who is forcing you to buy Indian product ...Taliban ..

I like planetwarriors suggestion lets go to war

I agree ..lets go for war

It’s just the beginning. Next thing Indians will install large Air Turbines to suck the air from the Pakistani sky. And Pakistan govt. will be watching. No electricity, no water, no air.

If you have no knowledge of how much damage your country is doing to ours...kindly do not joke about such things....this is why we are unable to achieve any level of peaces because you lot do damage and laugh about it when we point it out....

Who is forcing you to buy Indian product ...Taliban ..

Taliban = India

We are a growing population obviously we need to feed our population...

Maybe Indians need to learn a thing or 2 about irrigation... http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-94-007-5684-7_51

You people fail to see how much damage your doing to your OWN country and instead of facing it head on, you shy away from blaming all your Ill's on India....

Would you be kind enough to let me know the damages which we are doing to Pakistan and Laughing at them....

Large markets for fresh produce are the EU, North-America and Asia. Literature shows that India has more than 1000 to 6000 mango varieties growing, but productivity here is low when compared with countries like Brazil, Indonesia, Pakistan, Mexico, Bangladesh and China. The average world yield of mango is 25 t/ha [5] when compared with India's average yield of 6 t/ha

Gopalakrishnan, S. (2013). Marketing System of Mangoes in India World Applied Sciences Journal 21 (7): 1000-1007

not sure what India is doing with all that water when without much water we can already produce more mangoes than India

Nonsense comment. Where there is blame due, blame will be given.

Tank you, come again.

Sigh....When scientists can already show what damage you lot are doing, kindly tell us why should we even agree to friendship?! Why should we wanna be your FRAAAAANNNDDD? Amaan ka tamasha!

We do have to improve in agriculture, but if you look at the past 30 to 40 years.

India has done well in agriculture , from a hunger state to surplus in food.

Green revolution in India has done well and we are on the verge of second Green revolution which will rectify our short comings.

Another advantage India has is in India we can grow crops through the year unlike Europe and cold countries.

On topic, We are drilling water on our side of punjab, what is wrong in that??

India and Pakistan do not have any agreements regarding this phenomena.

Why whine and cry for that, if possible think a solution to stop this phenomena. Simple as that.

China is on the verge of diverting Brahmaputra river with out consulting India or BD, so Stop complaining and work for your benifit.

From the Article:

While speaking here at a seminar and workshop on agricultural technologies, he warned that Pakistan’s water storage capacity is abysmally low at 30 days, compared with 120 days in India, 200 days in China and Australia and 500 days in the US. He was of the view that only option left with Pakistan is to increase the crop yield per unit of land and per unit of water consumed. Pakistan cannot do anything in this too because of India...

The two-day seminar had been organised by WMRC and the UAF’s Department of Irrigation and Drainage, and attended by Australian Deputy High Commissioner Paul Molloy, UAF Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Iqrar Ahmad Khan, Dr Tri Nguyen Quang from the Dalhousie University in Canada.

One of the speakers pointed out that India and Pakistan witnessed 20 and 10 billion cubic metres of water depletion respectively during the last six years, out of the 68 billion cubic metres of available surface water. “We are inefficient in using water, fertiliser, horsepower, human capital and other inputs,” he said; adding that: “If the country keeps the same practice, we will soon see a large segment of the population facing food insecurity.”

The bold part is also because of India Denial Mode....

Indian is forcing you to buy Indian product in Pakistan which you buy via Dubai....India is good

Dont try to teach India about farming....we are top in growing rice and wheat.

 

[Dubious]

What reputation? Where? I've never heard of any such reputation. Only a fool would try and spin low productivity and inefficiency as "better quality" and better tasting fruit/veg.

YO Wanna be Mr. Britisher! I can tell you for a fact that British NATURAL germplasm in grain and fruits of UK is USELESS! In fact most fo the produce you lot eat is a mixed VARIETY! Usually an progeny of UK X Pakistan, UK x India, UK x China, UK x Germany...1970s itself your famous scientist Whitemore or whatever his name is went around the world collecting germplasm for barley, wheat and rice from around Asia till date they are still making efficient cross...So, you dont even have a say!

Green revolution does not mean you make your neighbour scarce of water!

agreed

Knowingly harming another is a terrorist activity...at least that is what I have heard PDF Indians say....

India and Pakistan do not have any agreements regarding this phenomena.

this issue is not new, it was addressed before but India ignored it and has been doing so..

Why whine and cry for that, if possible think a solution to stop this phenomena. Simple as that.

I did suggest in fact put up a paper (post 64) but I guess you lot are not interested in talking about it!

China is on the verge of diverting Brahmaputra river with out consulting India or BD, so Stop complaining and work for your benifit.

It is not a complain but an International issue whereby 1 country is ignorantly sucking water from the reserves of another...Dont know about you but that is stealing!

 

[haviZsultan]

This can better explain why agricultural production is so low in Pakistan. We have a low rate of agricultural production which should be improved.

So you only read the bold part? Mind you my point was that we are inefficient but so are you....in fact we never stole from you coz of our inefficiency! Were we effficient we would not have to import from you...But in addition to this inefficiency is what you lot are doing which is the MAIN ISSUE which YOU LOT are still avoiding!
