Salt and water logging tolerant varieties and crops are recommended for the area especially rice and barely could be the choice crops in the area. Since the area does not have drainage system and the flood water remained standing for more than 30 days in area, so installation of surface and subsurface drainage is highly needed to reduce the salinity and water logging problems in the area. 6. COMBATING FLOODS IN FUTURE COMMENT Prof (Rt.) Dr. Riaz A. Khattak KPK Agricultural University, Peshawar Floods like this are uncommon and come once in 50 or 100 years not in KPK and Pakistan but in many parts of the world including North America, Central America, some parts of Europe, China and Africa. No matter how developed and technologically advanced the country may be, it is impossible to be fully prepared to cope with floods of this scale as far as management, help and assistance to the affected people is concerned. However, the degree and extent of damage certainly would vary from region to region depending upon several complex set of factors. The most important factors which determine the scale of losses include the nature of watershed in relation to its physical and biological conditions. In other words, how poor or how well the watershed, also called catchment area, is managed. The recent studies
