Abstract

The challenge for groundwater-dependent countries is to ensure that the benefits derived from groundwater resources continue into the future. This requires a policy shift from groundwater development to long-term groundwater management. There follows a brief historical overview of groundwater development in Balochistan, Pakistan and a proposed blueprint for an improved groundwater management system in the region.
