摘要

The incidence of drought in Pakistan is becoming increasingly common with substantial consequences on food security, livestock production, environment and natural resources. During the last 5 years, the country suffered from the worst drought of its history. Due to low and erratic rainfalls, the provinces of Baluchistan and Sindh are more vulnerable to droughts. During the past drought some 2.5 million livestock died and the national growth rate plunged from an average of 6% to below 3%. The communities living in the severe drought prone areas have indigenous ways of coping with the drought. These include karezes, Spare irrigation systems, Khushkhaha systems. Bandar systems, recharging aquifers, and introducing new tillage practices. This paper reviews the extent and effectiveness of these coping strategies in mitigating the effects of drought. The study reveals that although farmers and communities are doing their best to live with droughts, their efforts were broken down because the drought lasted much longer than normally expected. As a result, incidences of poverty have increased many folds. There is strong need for cohesive efforts, both by the government and local communities, to develop short and long term strategies for drought managementin this country.
