Focusing on the effects of climate change, this seminar paper investigates irrigated agriculture in southern Pakistan, specifically within the provinces of Sindh and Punjab. It highlights the reliance on the Indus River for irrigation and the complexities of predicting future wheat production due to variable climate forecasts. The literature reviewed reveals discrepancies regarding climate change's impact on wheat, primarily addressing temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather, while often neglecting the river's discharge effects.
