Water Apportionment Accord and Pakistan’s Water & Climate Policies Analysis: 1. Water Apportionment Accord 1991 (WAA 1991): The rigid water-sharing formula doesn’t account for climate change, reduced flows, or groundwater. It lacks provisions for regulating excess flood flows or groundwater depletion. Hill-torrent potential (8 MAF) is unaddressed in provincial allocations. 2. National Water Policy 2018 (NWP 2018): The policy suffers from unclear federal-provincial roles, overemphasis on infrastructure, and neglect of water efficiency. There’s no strategy for the Water-Food-Energy Nexus or alignment with SDGs. Water theft, pricing, and metering are unaddressed. 3. National Climate Change Policy 2021 (NCCP 2021): Lacks clear priorities, integration with water policy, and actionable plans. No financial mechanisms or effective local governance for climate resilience. 4. Cross Domain Impact: No accountability mechanism for provincial non-compliance, data manipulation, or over-withdrawal. Weak governance linkages between climate, water, and energy. Limited enforcement authority within IRSA. No framework for water-food-energy nexus.
Analyzes flaws in Pakistan's 1991 Water Apportionment Accord (rigid, ignores climate/groundwater), 2018 National Water Policy (unclear roles, infrastructure bias), 2021 Climate Policy (lacks integrati
The slide presents a title slide for an analysis of Pakistan's water apportionment and climate policies. Its subtitle highlights a critical examination of rigid structures and gaps in governance.
Critical Examination of Rigid Structures and Gaps in Governance
The Presentation Outline slide presents an agenda critiquing key policies related to water and climate management. It covers the Water Apportionment Accord 1991 for its rigid formula ignoring climate change and groundwater; the National Water Policy 2018 for unclear roles and neglected efficiency; the National Climate Change Policy 2021 for lacking integration and actionable resilience plans; and a Cross-Domain Impacts Analysis highlighting governance gaps in the water, climate, and energy nexus.

The Water Apportionment Accord of 1991 (WAA 1991) establishes a rigid formula for sharing water resources that fails to account for climate change, reduced flows, and the integration of groundwater in provincial allocations. Additionally, it lacks mechanisms for flood regulation, groundwater depletion prevention, and harnessing the untapped potential of hill-torrents estimated at 8 million acre-feet.
The National Water Policy 2018 slide highlights key shortcomings in water governance, including unclear federal-provincial roles and an overemphasis on infrastructure rather than efficiency measures. It also notes the policy's neglect of integrating the Water-Food-Energy Nexus, misalignment with Sustainable Development Goals, and failure to address issues like water theft, pricing, and metering.

The National Climate Change Policy 2021 (NCCP 2021) slide highlights key shortcomings, including a lack of clear priorities for mitigation and adaptation, as well as insufficient integration with national water policy frameworks. It also points out the absence of actionable implementation plans, dedicated financial mechanisms for climate initiatives, and effective local governance to build resilience.
The slide on Cross Domain Impact highlights critical gaps in water resource management, including a lack of accountability for provincial non-compliance or data manipulation and unaddressed over-withdrawal of shared resources. It also points to weak connections between climate, water, and energy governance, limited enforcement powers within IRSA, and the absence of a comprehensive Water-Food-Energy Nexus framework.

The conclusion slide emphasizes key takeaways for securing Pakistan's water future, including updating policies for climate resilience, integrated nexus approaches, and stronger enforcement. It also recommends enhancing IRSA's authority and addressing groundwater and hill-torrents to promote sustainable water management.
- Update policies for climate resilience, integrated nexus approaches, and stronger enforcement.
