Sindh Irrigation Department

The Irrigation Department faces significant challenges in operating, maintaining, developing, and managing irrigation networks. These tasks are vital for an agriculture-based state where the majority of people rely on quality cultivation and adequate water supply. In addition to ensuring clean water distribution from rivers, the department also focuses on managing surface drainage systems, including large drains, and installing tube wells to maintain groundwater levels below the root zone. Managing flood control along the River Indus and hill torrents, as well as handling flood emergencies in the face of global climate change, is also a crucial responsibility.
