An Analytical Assessment about Conjunctive Use of Surface and Ground Water Resources: A Case Study in the Lower Indus Region

It is apparent that groundwater which is a substantial resource for providing additional water is a potential source to meet the growing demands of agriculture. It is also regarded as a potential source to improve water use efficiency. In particular, the integrated management of both groundwater and surface supplies (i.e. Conjunctive Use) can be one of the few options to improve the performance of irrigation systems in Pakistan,
