Karez Irrigation in Balochistan at All Things Pakistan

West of Indus Plains and out of monsoon zone is Balochistan – the largest landmass in Pakistan with an area of 343,000 square kilometres. Balochistan is scarcely populated, mainly due to its daunting arid geography. It includes the mountainous country separated by intervening valleys. Balochistan receives very low rainfall annually.
