1. Site Characterization GUJRAT Pakistan Global Change Impact Studies Centre (GCISC), Islamabad, Pakistan GECAFS Indo-Gangetic Plains BFP Grant Meeting 13-15 December, 2005, Kathmandu, NEPAL. Kashif Majeed Salik

2. Reasons of Selection District Gujrat has both irrigated and rainfed cultivated areas thus impact of GEC on food and water can be assessed on both areas. Being less productive, as compared to other districts of Punjab, food security in Gujrat would be more vulnerable to GEC. Variety of cropping systems like sugarcane- wheat, rice-wheat and mixed cropping due to irrigated and rainfed agriculture. Topography in Gujrat varies from plain to sub- mountainous range.
