Abstract

The problem of climate change has become very strongly during last two decades on global scale in view of the projected consequences on the environment of unguarded states. Gradually rising temperature and its effects on the crops here and rainfall are obvious in many areas around the world. Climate change related to natural and anthropogenic processes in Pakistan is the major source of study in this report. The impacts of these climate changes appear to be additional component of the large number of existing water related problems in every station of Pakistan. The objective of this report is to analyze the global warming effect on CWR. For this purpose, we made seven scenarios So, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6. From So-S3 crop water requirement increases in all regions but from S4-S6 crop water requirement remains same. For this purpose we selected different cities from agro ecological stations to check the effect of climate change on CWR. Faisalabad, Gupis, Jacobabad, Kalat, Karachi, Multan, Nawabshah, Peshawar and Zhob are the regions selected for this research. Different scenarios have been made such that, in So scenario temperature remains same but from S1, S2 and S3 scenarios temperature is increases 1, 2 and 3 degree centigrade respectively. While, in S4, S5 and S6 scenarios precipitation increases or decreases according to the climatic changes of that area (So, S1, S2, S3, ) and then we increase or decrease the precipitation rate by 5%, 10% and 15% (S4, S5, S6) in accordance with the zone. From result it is concluded that the crop water requirement in arid and in semi-arid is increasing annually on the other hand the total value of effective rainfall in Pakistan is decreasing.
