It is further divided into upper Tanawal and lower Tanawal which lies in the north of Maidan-e-Hazara. This is a remote area and is accessed via Chapper road or Shahar-eTanawal. The third region is Khanpur Punjakahta which is lying in the south eastern corner of the An overview of central Haripur district, with well irrigated plains. The fourth region Chach, also called Maidan-e-Khari, is situated in the west of Haripur city. This whole belt is submerged under the reservoir of the Tarbela dam. Soil of the district is dissected loess plain or dissected piedmont plains with silty loam and silty clay loam respectively. The district exhibits a suit of meta-sedimentary rocks of slates, phyllitic –slate, quartzite and crystalline limestone. Major minerals of the area are sandstone, limestone and dolomite, mostly explored at Ghazi Tehsil. Indus, Siran, Daur and Haro are the well known rives of the district. River Indus enters the district at Durband in the north- west, flowing along the western boundary of Haripur, feeds Turbela reservoir, and exits the district at Ghazi. Siran enters Haripur at Bir and falls into Turbela Lake near Bir. The Daur River has less water and comparatively shorter course than Siran. It has its catchment area at Daunga Gali of district Abbottabad in the east and flows through the plains of the district towards west, joining Siran near Gandger range eight km above Turbela. The Haro River with adequate water originates from the Siran River southern end of Daunga Gali range where it has two tributaries, the eastern known as Dhund and the western is called Karral Haro. The two streams join at the head of Khanpur tract that ultimately falls into Khanpur dam.

(Source: Census 1998 & Primary data from the communities) Natural Resources and Land Use Agriculture In district Haripur, land is used for four major purpose i.e. agriculture, construction of buildings, grazing / grass and forest. Agriculture is a main source of income for a major portion of the populace. Farming is Land Use Agriculture 17% 37% 7% Forests / Range Lands Cultivable Wastes 39% Not Available for Page 16 of 39 Cultivation District Profile Haripur the common occupation of the people living in the rural areas. Types of Land and Irrigation In District Haripur, more area is covered with forests and rangelands (39% of the total land) and comparatively has a small amount of agriculture land i.e. 169,019.82 acre (37% of the total reported area). Meanly 97% (165,066 acre) of the total cultivated land is sown and currently there is a fallow of 3,954 acre (3% of the total cultivated land) mostly due to non availability of irrigation water and droughts. Besides, there is a considerable amount of cultivable wastes i.e. 33,890.45 Ratio of Irrigated and Un-irrigated land acre (7% of the total reported area) that may be brought under cultivation, if irrigation water available and lands protected from erosion/sliding. 36% 64% Un-Irrigated Most of the agriculture lands in hilly areas and a big portion in the plains above Daur, Haro and Siran rivers are un-irrigated. About 36% (61430.30 acre) of the total cultivated land is irrigated through different sources i.e. 60.5 % from private canals, 22% from government canals, 9% from Tube wells, 8% from tanks and 0.5% from wells. River daur, Khanpur dam, Buthri dam, Rangela channel, Shandra Mirza canal system, Kalhat, Punjkhata canal, Ichar canal and Changi Bandi channel are the major natural and man mad sources of irrigation in the district. Almost all the farmers have an access to the use of available irrigation water and they use it by turn outlined by the committees or department. (Sources: Crops Reporting Services, Haripur and Primary data from Irrigated local communities) Land Holding and Tenure Most of the farmers are small land holders and so self operators. Per HH cultivated land is 1.15 acre. About 15% HHs have no land and earn their subsistence from daily wages. 30% HHs just have houses and 0.25 – 0.5 acre land. They have grains from their own land just to suffice for a month or two. They do on and off farm labor to support their HH economy. 55% HHs have 5-15 acre land including range lands and forests. They have sufficient grains for their own use. While some members of the HHs do government and private services and labor abroad to meet other non food needs. About 10% HHs have more than 25 acre land including range lands and forests. They sell surplus grains and vegetables/cash crops within the district and outside. About 75% farmers are self operators, while 25% mostly in plain areas do it through tenants. Major patterns of tenancy are ‘Equal Share’ and ‘One Third’. In Equal Share, owner affords whole cost of seed and 50% cost of fertilizer, while tenant afford 50% cost of fertilizer, provides manure and does all kind of labor. Food produce is divided equally while residue i.e. maize stalk and wheat straw etc is retained by the tenant. In One Third, the owner affords whole cost, while the tenant provides manure and does labor. 25% production is given to the tenant while he/she also retains all kinds of fodder but in a few cases, if the owner also has livestock and provides manure to the fields, the fodder is also divided with a pre decided proportion. Sometimes Tenants mange livestock for the owners as well. (Sources: Crops Reporting Services, Haripur and Primary data from local communities) Practices and Access to Technology / Services Page 17 of 39 District Profile Haripur Although farmers use available technology, traditional methods of farming still dominate in the district. Farmers mostly use tractor, except some remote hilly areas with narrow terraces, for plough and thrasher/Sheller for wheat / maize thrashing and motorized machine for rice husking. In plain areas, farmers have more access to extension services and improved seed / quality fertilizer and agrochemical, while in remote hilly areas they use traditional seed. Over use of agrochemicals is a common practice in the district. Yet in plain areas, all the farmers don’t get improved seed due to non limited availability. Where there is irrigation water, farmers give moisture to the fields before sowing and prepare land well. But in rain fed areas, it totally depends on rain and farmers could little prepare land for sowing. In un-irrigated areas, farmers are shifting from crops needing more water to the crops that don’t need much water. Through Ashar system, farmers help one another in times of cultivation and harvesting. The whole district is dual crop zone. Mostly cereal crops maize and wheat is grown throughout the district. A great variety of cash crops and vegetable is also grown in the areas where there is irrigation. As most of the products are consumed locally, yet some vegetables and cash crops i.e. tobacco and sugar cane and fruits i.e. citrus and loquat are also exported to other parts of the country. There is a Research Farm, a Seed Production Farm, a Soil Testing Laboratory, a Horticulture Center and Agriculture Extension Department with regional offices in the district. The agriculture farm on the bank of river Daur has an area of 65 acre. Nursery of different improved fruit species i.e. plum, peach, apricot, guava, loquat, citrus, mulberry and litchi are grown in the farm to provide farmers with plants within the district. Through demo plots in the farm, modern profitable practices of farming are extended to the farmers and they are provided with seeds of different crops and vegetable with subsidized rates. Though agriculture extension is providing services in the plain areas mostly nearer to Haripur city, in peripheral areas farmers have little access to these services. (Sources: Agriculture Extension department & Primary data) Crops Throughout Haripur, farmers grow cereal crops i.e. maize, wheat and barley, pulses and beans i.e. gram, masoor, matter, beans and mong other cash crops i.e. tobacco, sugar cane, turmeric and ground nut, and oil seed i.e. sunflower and mustard as per required habitat and needed irrigation. Besides, they also grow various kinds of off-season vegetables i.e. peas, cucumber, squash, tomato and bitter gourd etc and regular season vegetables i.e. onion, garlic, cauliflower, tomato, tinda / squash, sponge gourd, bitter gourd, bottles gourd, potato, spinach and green chili where ever there is irrigation water mostly in rural areas. Some crops like maize and clover etc are grown for fodder while there is a variety of orchards of citrus, guava, loquat, litchi, mango, peach, plum, pear, lemon and apricot etc. Current mean cultivated area, production and trend of the major crops, vegetables, orchards and fodder is reflected in the following tables; Rabi Crops – Mean Area, Production and Trend Crop Average Area (in acre) Irrigated Wheat Un-Irrigated Production (tons) /Acre Total Irrigated Un-Irrigated 1.19 0.65 Trend 11,767.15 81,423.69 93,190.84 Gram - 256.98 256.98 0.21 Masoor - 111.19 111.19 0.19 37.06 963.71 1,000.77 - 98.84 98.84 Tobacco 155.67 - 155.67 0.95 Matter 941.47 2.47 943.94 0.41 0.40 Barley 32.12 1,386.26 1,418.38 0.40 Page 18 of 39 0.29 Mustard (Sersoo) Mustard (Improved Canola) 0.22 0.15 0.22 District Profile Haripur Kharif Crops – Mean Area, Production and Trend Crop Average Area (in acre) Irrigated Maize Un-Irrigated Production (tons) /Acre Total Irrigated Un-Irrigated 13,598.2 86,570.89 100,169.0 - 138.37 138.37 64.24 - 64.24 5.14 Jawar 303.93 770.96 1,074.89 0.37 Beans - 224.86 224.86 Lobia / Clouth 19.76 - 19.76 0.16 Bajra 17.29 79.07 96.36 0.75 Sun Flower 14.82 - 14.82 0.40 Mong 12.35 593.05 605.40 0.57 256.98 - 256.98 12.74 - 37.06 37.06 Ground Nut Turmeric Sugar Cane Seasum Trend 0.83 0.51 0.32 0.23 0.12 0.61 0.28 0.27 Rabi Vegetables - Mean Area, Production and Trend Vegetables Area (Acre) Production (Tons) Production / Acre Turnip 79.07 1,180.00 14.92 Carat 54.36 259.00 4.76 Radish 56.83 313.00 5.51 Spinach 44.47 428.00 9.62 Tomato 64.24 395.00 6.15 Cauliflower 17.29 98.00 5.67 Cabbage 22.23 116.00 5.22 Peas 27.81 75.00 2.70 Garlic 306.41 695.00 2.27 Onion 96.37 455.00 4.72 Potato 81.54 270.00 3.31 4.94 1.00 0.20 Coriander Trend Page 19 of 39 District Profile Haripur Kharif Vegetables - Mean Area, Production and Trend Vegetables Area (Acre) Production (Tons) Production / Acre Okra 81.54 396.00 4.86 Tinda 98.84 978.00 9.89 Bringal 93.90 174.00 1.85 103.78 298.00 2.87 Bitter Gourd 42.00 114.00 2.71 Bottle Gourd 192.74 579.00 3.00 Tomato 350.88 1,031.00 2.94 Arum 207.56 244.00 1.18 Cauliflower 168.03 949.00 5.65 Potato 103.78 331.00 3.19 Other 501.62 1,455.00 2.90 Pumpkin Trend Rabi Fruits - Mean Area, Production and Trend Fruit Area (Acre) Production (Tons) Production / Acre Trend Citrus 709.19 2,274.00 3.21 Loquat 496.68 159.00 0.32 Guava 471.97 1,385.00 2.93 Others 145.79 600.00 4.12 Kharif Fruits - Mean Area, Production and Trend Fruit Area (Acre) Production (Tons) Production / Acre Trend Apricot 101.31 363.00 3.58 Banana 64.24 1,007.00 15.68 Apple 7.41 26.00 3.51 Guava 254.51 852.00 3.35 Mango 12.35 37.00 3.00 Pear 64.26 235.00 3.66 Peach 271.81 944.00 3.47 Plum 279.22 876.00 3.14 Pomegranate 14.82 55.00 3.71 Water Melon 143.32 457.00 3.19 Musk Melon 88.95 270.00 3.04 Other 51.89 182.00 3.51 Fodder Clover (Shaftal) Others Rabi Fodder - Mean Area, Production and Trend Production (in tons) Production (tons) /Acre Average Area (in acre) 1,813.75 18,930.00 10.44 696.83 4,079.00 5.85 Trend Page 20 of 39 District Profile Haripur Fodder Kharif Fodder -Mean Are, Production and Trend Production (tons) /Acre Average Area (in acre) Production (in tons) Maize 76.60 500.00 6.53 Others 39.53 431.00 10.90 Trend (Sources: Agriculture Extension department, Crops reporting services Haripur & Primary data) Issues Erratic rains always create uncertainty for farming in the district. It also causes soil erosion leading to depletion of fertile layer of agriculture fields and degradation of range lands. Nutritional depletion due to over exploitation and irregular crop rotation is another issue leading to reduced production with passage of time. Due to low land holding (continuous fragmentation of land) people are shifting to other livelihoods strategies. Drought is a permanent issue regarding farming in Haripur. There are many rain fed areas where if there is no or low rain fall, no crop is grown. Besides, in peripheral areas farmers have little access to irrigation, soil conservation, agriculture and livestock services. (Sources: Primary data from farmers) Potential There is a great potential of bringing cultivable wastes under cultivation through rain water harvesting and soil conservation measurements. Besides, if water available for irrigation, off and on season vegetable, kitchen gardens and fruit orchards could be grown anywhere in the district. Furthermore plains of the district are the most suitable area for seed production. (Sources: Agriculture research station Haripur and Primary data from farmers) Water Rivers and Streams Four well known rives of the province i.e. Indus, Siran, Daur and Haro flow through the district. Besides, there are many small streams and springs in hilly areas falling into these main streams and rivers. River Indus enters the district at Durband in the north- west, flowing along the western boundary of Haripur, feeds Turbela reservoir, and exits the district at Ghazi. It gives no water for irrigation to the district, while some nearby villages collect water from it for domestic uses and livestock. Siran River enters Haripur at Bir, flows through the UC from north east to west and falls into Turbela Lake near Bir village. Channels from the river irrigate a small piece of land at Bir, while people also get water from the river for HH use, in the nearby villages. The Daur River has less water and comparatively shorter course than Siran. It has its catchment area at Daunga Gali of district Abbottabad in the east, fed by Page 21 of 39 District Profile Haripur many springs and streams at different places i.e. Main Katha, Bagh, Gaya, Namli Maria, Baghnotar, and Thallian. It flows through the plains of the district towards west, joining Siran near Gandger range about eight km above Turbela. The river is a great source of irrigation and sanitation / drainage in the district. The Haro River with adequate water originates from the southern end of Daunga Gali range where it has two tributaries, the eastern known as Dhund and the western is called Karral Haro. The two streams join at the head of Khanpur tract that ultimately falls into Khanpur dam. It irrigates lands in some villages upstream i.e. in Khanpur area. (Sources: Census 1998, Irrigation Sub Division Haripur, and Primary data from filed) Dams and Canals One of the worlds’ biggest dams viz. Turbela reservoir is situated in the Haripur. Besides there are other big and small dams i.e. Khanpur Dam, Bhutri Dam, Khal Dam, Mang Dam and Slam Khund dam. As Turbela dam doesn’t give any irrigation water to the district it greatly helps to maintain water table in the side by areas of the district. Other dams not only feed several canals and irrigation channels but also recharge the underground water table in the area. Major canals in the district are Ichar, Punjkatha, Sarai Saleh, Rangeela, Changi Bandi, Shanda Maira, Mankarai, One of the eastern tributaries of Haro at Muslim Abad Neelan and Amgah. Rangeela Irrigation System is Turbela reservoir between Bir and Bait Gali taken off form Daur and comprises a comprehensive system of Distribution tanks further distributed in nine civil channels. (Sources: Census 1998, Irrigation Sub Division Haripur, and Primary data from filed) Irrigation and Drinking Water Tube Wells / Wells There are 35 irrigation and 210 drinking water tube wells mostly in plain areas of the district. Irrigation tube wells are managed by Irrigation department while those of drinking water are managed by public health engineering. In Municipalities i.e. Haripur and Kalabat drinking water tube wells are managed (maintenance & operation) by municipal committees. Average bill for irrigation tube well is PKR. 600-700/hour and that for drinking water supply is PKR. 200/month. Average water table in the district ranges from 70-180 ft but in some areas i.e. in the city and other dry areas in the south east it goes down from 200-300 ft. (Sources: Irrigation Division Hazara, Public Health Engineering Haripur, and Primary data from filed) The district is mostly un-irrigated and only 61,430.03 acre (13.35% of the total area and 36% of the total cultivated land) is irrigated through different sources i.e. canals, tanks, tube wells, wells and civil irrigation channels. An approximate ratio of irrigation from different sources is as following. Total Irrigated Area (Acre) 61,430.30 Percentage Canal Tanks Tube Wells Wells 37,337.57 5,016.23 5,312.76 296.53 60.78 8.17 8.65 0.48 Government Private 13,467.22 21.92 (Sources: Crops reporting services, Irrigation Sub Division Haripur, and Primary data from filed) Page 22 of 39 District Profile Haripur 75% HHs get drinking water from tube wells and 25% from gravity supply, hand pumps and dug wells. In some big villages there are mega water supply schemes for drinking water i.e. Sirikot and Garam Thon etc. In rain fed areas there are rain water harvesting ponds mostly used for livestock. Though water table in the area has been raised by the dames, yet drought is a permanent threat to the surface water as well as underground water i.e. due to drought in 2001-2002 most of the tube wells got dried. Soil Erosion Rain water harvesting pond at Sarai Niamat Khan Soil erosion is mostly due to erratic rains, gullies at hills, and flood in river and rain fed / perennial streams. There is perpetual soil erosion on banks of the Siran River. Soil conservation has very meager financial resources and just provide subsidy to individuals for reclaiming or protection of lands on small scale. It works on request from individuals and with a cost sharing approach that ranges from 20% - 50% of total cost. Work done by the Soil Conservation department for water harvesting and soil conservation in the years 2009-2013 is summarized as following; Union Council Wise Number of Schemes of Soil Conservation Department (2009-2013) Tehsil Union Council Type of Work Number of Schemes 1.Ghazi 2.

(Sources: Soil Conservation Haripur and Primary data from filed) Broad leaved forest at Garam Thon Forest In district Haripur, about 39% (178,100.93 Acre) area is covered with sub tropical scrubs and pine forests, growing on road sides, range lands and low & high hills. Most of the range lands are covered with Sanatha / Ghwaraskay, while major forest trees include, but not limited to, Phulai, Chir Pine, Olive, Coil and a small population of Deodar. Most of the forests are Guzara and small portions including road/railway side are reserved. Forest is a considerable source of income in the neighboring communities of the district. There are five ranges in district Haripur reflected in the following table, with approximate area, species and ownership status.

Major species are olive, sanatha, phulai, Kamela, bakkarar, sheshum and chir pine Besides, there are more wild plants and shrubs on vast range lands, waste lands and even on the margins of agricultural fields. Main plants growing throughout the district, on plains, range lands and down hills are Eucalyptus, Ailanthus, Pastawanay, Figs, Paper Mulberry, Bakain, Anardana and Acacia/Rubinia, while Popular and mulberry are common on margins of agriculture fields and on the banks of canals. A big amount of land is communal / private range land covered with shrubs and bushes. It is mostly used for grazing or collecting grass and fuel wood. These lands provide a great opportunity of structural measures for rain water harvesting, because these have various small and big water sheds with potential macro and micro catchments. Fire is a permanent threat to forests in the district. It is mostly due to encroachment of the neighboring land owners who cut trees, set the area on fire to remove the remains and convert it into agriculture land. Almost all tribes have a right of use. Little new plantation / Forest of Chir Pine at Muslim Abad afforestation is observed in the district, while there is an increasing trend of agro forestry. As there is an industrial state in the district, forests are more necessary to clean the environment from different gases emitted by factories but continuous deforestation further distort the situation. (Sources: Forest Division Haripur, Crops Reporting Services and Primary data from filed) Livestock In district Haripur 88% population live in rural areas and most of them keep livestock for milk, meat, manure, carriage and sale for cash earning. Most people consume the dairy products at household level, while some HHs sell these products and animal to earn cash for their other livelihoods needs. In urban areas only 10% HHs keep livestock and the remaining procure dairy products from market. About 20% HHs have 1-2 buffalo, 40% HHs have 3-4 cattle, 0.5% HHs have herds of cattle (10-15), 39.5% HHs have3-6 goats, while some HHs within this estimated population also keep different type of animals at the same time. Livestock grazing on range lands People mostly in rural areas keep poultry at homes, Page 26 of 39 District Profile Haripur while there are poultry farms in some areas i.e. Muslim Abad etc. Besides, some people keep donkeys, mules, horses and camels for carriage or goods transportation. Though, Local breed is preferred for its resilience to seasonal variation, still, some wealthy HHs keep cattle of exotic breed. Mostly livestock is kept in sheds along with houses, while free grazing on range lands is the common practice. Mostly women are involved in livestock management. Big land lords manage their livestock through their tenants, while tenants comparatively keep more livestock for their livelihoods. Nomads, having herds of cattle, goats and sheep come to the district and stay here for six months (winter and spring) moving from southern plains to northern hills. Some nomads lease lands for a Rabi season cultivation, while some of them don’t cultivate any land on tenancy but stay for on crop free agriculture lands and provide manure to the lands. Usually maize stalks, wheat straw, clover and grasses are used as fodder while people also feed their milking animals with nutritional supplements. In areas where there are rang lands nearby, people mostly graze their animals over there. Due to contaminated / stagnant water in ponds, livestock suffer from different types of diseases, mostly in summer. (Sources: Primary data from filed) There are 2 veterinary hospitals, 26 dispensaries and 10 veterinary centers in the District. They provide health care to 50% animals of different species for different diseases. Vaccination is done by the departmental staff as well as Live Stock Extension workers in different villages, trained by the Department through financial assistance from various development agencies. Livestock and Dairy Development Department provide their services in nearby areas only and in peripheral areas farmers know little about them and people mostly get their animals treated by private practitioners. Generally, there is an increase in the population due to increasing human population and its needs. According to the livestock census 1996 and 2006, population of the livestock was reported as following; Population of Livestock -Census 1996 & 2006 S.

Karakorum Highway separates from Peshawar – Islamabad road at Hassan Abdal, while Islamabad – Peshawar motor way could be taken via Burhan, Chach and Ghazi interchanges. Karakorum Highway runs across the whole district of Haripur, links the district with district Attock in the west and district Abbottabad in the east. Other main access roads are Hatar road (Haripur to Taxila), Khanpur road (Haripur to Taxila), Sirikot road (Haripur to Swabi and Attock), Jabri road (Lora to Murree) and Chapper road (Haripur to Durband Mansehra). Besides, there is a comprehensive network of main and link roads in the district. Most of the roads are metalled, while a few link roads in the hilly areas are un-metalled. Almost all the main villages are accessible through links roads. Farm to market roads play an important role in the development of agriculture. A railway line also passes through the district and links it with Taxila in the south and Havelian of district Abbottabad in the east. PTCL (with 19 telephone exchanges is the land line network that also provides DSL services in the urban / road side areas of the district. Ufone, Telenor, Mobilink and Zong are the mobile networks widely used in the district, while in a few remote hilly areas where PTCL land line has not been extended and mobile networks don’t work, PTCL V wireless is used. In the district, there is one head post office, 26 sub-post offices and 74 branch offices. Besides courier services are available Haripur and Kalabat towns. Source: Census 1998, Google Earth and Primary data History Haripur district remained a part of several reigns by different dynasties. In 1472 Prince Shahabuddin, a descendant of Amir Timur came to Hazara to lead Karlugh Turks legions left by Amir Timur in 1399, and formed a state known as Pakhli Sarkar in the area. The dynasty continued to rule the area till 1703. Gradually the ruling family was replaced by Afghan invaders i.e. Ahamd Shah and Duranis kept reins of the rule for several years. In 1992 army of Hari Singh Nalwa defeated Duranis and became ruler of the area. The town of Haripur (meaning Hari's town) was founded in 1822 by Hari Singh Nalwa. In 1849 the British Empire annexed the area that became a part of Pakistan in 1947. Haripur remained a Tehsil of district Hazara (1958-1979). As District Abbottabad was established, Haripur remained as its Tehsil till 1992, when Haripur was given the status of District. (Source: Wikipedia) North western territory of the district i.e. Tanawal area remained a part of the princely state of Amb, ruled by different Pathan Nawab/chieftains, till its merger in Pakistan (1969). Before division of the sub continent, the whole district remained a battle field and many battles were fought between the invading tribes and the existent ones. Besides, Land reforms in 1974-76, by Zulfiqar Ail Bhutto, the former Prime minister of Pakistan, created clashes among land owners and the tenants. Afterward a bylaw, may be a local one, was developed to entitle the tenants with a specific portion of land ownership after a stipulated time. The mechanism has no presence at the moment. (Source: Community) Economy Livelihoods Dependency / Sources of Income In Haripur, 90% HHs are involved in agriculture directly or indirectly but only 10% of them have sufficient food to fulfill their requirements, for the whole year, and they need to meet their other non food needs from other sources. Most of the farmers are small land holders. About 15% HHs have no land and earn their subsistence from daily wages. 30% HHs just have houses and 0.25 – 0.5 acre land. They have grains from their own land just to suffice for a month or two. They do on and Page 28 of 39 District Profile Haripur off farm labor to support their HH economy. 55% HHs have 5-15 acre land including range lands and forests. They have sufficient grains for their own use. While some members of the HHs do government and private services and labor abroad to meet other non food needs. About 10% HHs have more than 25 acre land including range lands and forests. They sell surplus grains and vegetables/cash crops within the district and outside and do large scale business. Livelihoods of the whole population relies on Labor 30%, agriculture 25%, livestock 8%, government services 25% and business 12%.Women are equally involved in earning their HH economy. They do government jobs and support male member of the HH in farming. Livestock management is the special responsibility of women in many parts of the district, while in rural areas women do all the small scale agriculture or crop management when their men go out for labor. Besides, they also earn a portion of subsistence economy through embroidery and tailoring, in plain areas.

Flood in Siran River, mostly in monsoon, causes damages to infrastructure, agriculture lands and human lives. In 1992, the river destroyed agriculture lands and almost all the catchments of irrigation channels. Again in 2010, the flood created a drastic situation in the nearby villages. Besides rain fed gullies and streams/trenches frequently cause soil erosion and damages to farm lands, range lands and livestock. A dry stream that gets flooded in rain storms Drought causes less produce and fodders i.e. in some un-irrigated areas in the last 2-4 years people have started to abandon farming. In severe droughts springs get dry and the water table gets low i.e. in 2001-2002 due to prolonged drought, many of the tube wells and springs got dried. In 2005, Earthquake also added to the miseries of people and several houses in the areas adjacent to Mansehra were partially damaged. Besides, heavy rain storms, mostly in hilly areas, are usually accompanied by hailstones and thunders.

(Sources: Census 1998 & Primary data) Page 33 of 39 District Profile Haripur Union Councils Well Attended by Development Initiatives Generally, union councils situated in municipalities i.e. Haripur north, Haripur south, Haripur Central, Kalabat and Turbela are comparatively most developed regarding access to services and infrastructure. Besides, other urban union councils neighboring to the district / Tehsil capital i.e. Darwesh, Sarai Salah, Bareela, Panian, Dingi, Dhenda, Hatar, Tofkian, Mankarai, Khanpur, Rehana, Ghazi and Qazi Pur etc are more developed. These UCs also have influential political figures and have been mostly focused by the government. In union councils, situated in plain area of the district under Khanpur dam and Daur River, there is a well planned canal system and these UCs are irrigated to a great extent. At present DFID in collaboration with SUNGI implements AWAZ Project in union councils Bandi Sher Khan, Pind Kamal Khan, Pind Hashim Khan, Manakrai, Breela, Hatar, Kot Najibullah, Rehana, Kundi and Kotehra. The project focuses on advocacy, accountability and micro finance. UNDP in Partnership with European Union implements RAHA Project in union councils Panian, Dheenda, Sikanderpur and Khalabat Town Ship, with a focus on development and improvement of Infrastructure i.e. health, education, sanitation and drinking water facilities in refugee affected areas of the district. (Sources: PHKN, line departments & Primary data) Union Councils Deprived of Development Initiatives Union councils situated in rural areas / outskirts of the district are generally less developed, but in particular, union councils situated in hilly areas in the west, northern west and southern east viz. UCs Bir, Kalinjar, Ladar Mang, Sarai Niamat Khan, Muslim Abad, Barkot, Jabri, Bait Gali, Amazai and Kundi Umar Khana are mostly deprived of the development initiatives. These are comparatively remote areas with rain fed hilly terrains. There is less agriculture land and people have little linkages with and access to line departments, as compared with people of the central union councils. Besides, these UCs are situated in remote areas of the district and a few development actors feel easy to reach out the area. At the moment little development activities are going on in the area, while no actor is focusing on climate change or rain water harvesting in present. (Sources: PHKN, line departments & Primary data) Areas with High Potential of Rain Water Harvesting / Water Conservation and Little Investment on Irrigation. Rain fed UCs of Bir, Sarai Niamat Khan, Muslim Abad and Kundi Umar Khana have high potential for rain water harvesting / water conservation both in the sense of need and in the sense of physical feasibility. Most of the area in these UCs is rain fed. Agriculture lands are situated at foothills, mid hills and up hills having frequent water sheds, rain fed gorges/trenches and gullies at the nearby hills, that provides the UCs with a great potential for rain water harvesting and conservation/retention of some perennial springs/streams. All the UCs are prone to soil erosion. As situated in the hilly areas of the district except Sarai Niamat Khan, these UCs get comparatively more rains, mostly in winter, spring and monsoon. A Potential catchment area above agriculture lands at Bir UC Page 34 of 39 District Profile Haripur About 10-15 % land in Bir, Muslim Abad and Kundi and approximately 40% in Sarai Niamat Khan is used for cultivation. Most of the area in all the UCs is covered by range lands and forest used for grazing, grass and fuel wood and timber collection. Due to scarcity of water in some UCs i.e. Bir, Sarai Niamat Khan and Kundi, a considerable amount of cultivable land at foothill and mid hill is lying barren. In All UCs more than 80% HHs are related with agriculture and more than 70% HHs keep livestock, while mostly women are involved in farming i.e. agriculture and livestock management. Although the UC Bir is situated nearby Turbela dam A potential Site for rain water harvesting at Bir UC and on the bank of Siran River and UC Muslim Abad also has some perennial streams i.e. Haro and its tributaries but due to high level of agriculture lands and villages above rivers/streams’ bed, still these are very thirsty areas. There are gravity schemes of drinking water in some villages of all the UCs which scarcely meet the needs of the whole village but of a few families, while regarding irrigation, there is no source but rain, except a small amount of land at foot hills in Bir and Muslimabad. Water is the most important commodity in all these UCs. Water table in Bir ranges from 100-250, while that in Sarai A potential site for water conservation at M. Abad UC Niamat Khan is 70-200 ft, and in Muslim Abad it is 30-150 ft. Natural springs at some villages/sites little suffice the drinking and HH sanitation needs. Ponds made in the past at different villages provide water for livestock. Some people fetch water through donkeys while in some areas it is the exclusive responsibility of women to collect water for their domestic use as well as for their livestock. As these are mostly un-irrigated areas, the whole farming relies on rain and even a slight variation in climate i.e. low or no rain fall for a short span of time affect crop production. Flood in perennial and rain fed streams mostly in monsoon, causes damages to infrastructure, agriculture lands and human lives. In 1992, almost all the streams got flooded due to heavy rain storm and created a devastating situation in these areas. Besides, rain fed gullies and streams/trenches frequently cause soil erosion and damages to farm lands, range lands and livestock. There is a potential for production enhancement of cereal crops through irrigation, while the area seems very feasible for other crops i.e. vegetables and fruit orchards. If water available for irrigation, the barren cultivable lands may be brought under cultivation that will further enhance grains production in the area, while a tendency of growing regular and off season vegetable may contribute to their HH economy. Though basic health and education services are available in all these UCs, as situated in the outskirts, the UCs are mostly deprived of A micro catchment area for rain water harvesting at S.N.K development initiatives compared to the other UCs near by the capital of the district, especially in respect of water related services. A few influential people have linkages with line departments and a little work has been done by nongovernmental organization / project, but IC in Bir and Muslim Abad UCs only.

River Daur also irrigate some area in the west. The Haro has sufficient water but it just a small area in Khanpur due to high level land on the bank. Some major above mentioned canals irrigate a substantial area in the district and a brief illustration is as following; Ichar Canal The canal is perennial having his head regulator in Sari Salah, it irrigates many villages through different water channels. Daur Canal River Daur is the main source of water for irrigation in the district. Water from river Daur through Daur main canal is accumulated in reservoir known as Rangeela, situated between Gujar Mohra and village Shah Mahmood. Water of the reservoir is distributed through 9 channels for irrigation of lands in the villages around the city. Sarai Salah Non Perennial Canal The canal is separated from Daur main canal which irrigates land of villages adjoining Haripur City on the other side of G.T road and industrial area. These two canals i.e. Daur main canal and Sarai Salah Non Perennial Canal irrigate a big amount of lands in UCs Kholian Bala, Shah Maqsood, Bagra, Sarai Salah, Ali Khan, Pandak, Haripur City, Darwesh, Dheenda, Mankrai and Panian etc. Khanpur Dam The dam was constructed for irrigation purpose on Haro River. Khanpur Right Bank canal and Khanpur Left Bank Canal originate from the dam. Another canal known as Punjkatha system has also been taken from the dam that irrigates lands of southern region of the district. Other small dames in the district are Khal dam, Mang dam and Buthri dam built for irrigation in the nearby areas. Under National Programme (2004-2009) of water courses lining/improvement, Water Management department has constructed / improved about 433 water courses in the irrigated areas of the district. Besides, Water Management department has also installed sprinkle irrigation technologies at four different sites on trial basis.
