The Indus Basin Irrigation System (IBIS)

?

The IBIS

The Indus Basin covers 1,000,000 kilometres squared, and includes Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and China.

The Indus Basin Irrigation system is an irrigation system that provides water for over 1,600,000 km squared of Pakistans agricultural land. It is the largest irrigation system in the world and began as a system of canals under British rule. Today it includes 3 large dams and some smaller dams that regulate water flow, twelve link canals that enable water to be transfered between rivers, and over 64000 kilometres squared of smaller canals which distribute the water across the countryside.

There are pros to this, but also some cons:

Pros:

    - Food security in Pakistan is improved, making 40% more

Hi,

I used this to revise for my GCSE case studies, it was very helpful but it was a little bit confusing when there where spelling errors and some of the sentences didn't make sense.

Apart from that, it was very helpful

Thanks

If you don't like this please don't comment, I made this to revise, and I used what I made here to get an 8 in my gcse geography in 2018. I didn't make it with the intention of other people reading but thought id share it in case it helps others. if you don't find it helpful please don't leave hateful comments
