“…Rural land values in Pakistan are closely tied to productivity-related indicators such as land suitability for agriculture. This is, in turn, tied to the availability and reliability of surface and groundwater and the efficiency of administrative and socioeconomic institutions that govern water use (Aberman et al 2013). Efficient, market-based exchanges of land in Pakistan are constrained by the high transaction costs imposed by (1) the absence of clearly defined titles and property rights for many land parcels in the country;…”

Two current processes of institutional reform -irrigation management transfer (IMT) and the 18th Amendment to Pakistan's Constitution -are expected to significantly impact agriculture and irrigation in Pakistan. Results are analyzed from a net-map exercise conducted with water-sector experts at the federal and provincial (Punjab) scales. The data suggest the potential for successful shifts of decision making under the 18th Amendment. However, weaker perceptions of the role of IMT in water governance were found than would be expected given its long history. This is further evidence that something new is necessary to help shift towards the decentralized IMT model.
