Summary, etc. The Partition of the Punjab has had pro found effects on the regional economy and organization of the subcontinental portion of the Indus Basin. After the long struggle to work out the water allocation and inter national financing arrangements necessary to render Partition viable came problems of implementation of the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960.<br/><br/>This study analyzes the projects under way in the context of political and economic developments in West Pakistan and India since Partition. Mr. Michel discusses the important topic of groundwater in West Pakistan both as a supplementary source of irrigation and in relation to the problems of waterlogging and salinity. The role of the Revelle Mission, representing one of the most intensive foreign technical assist ance programs ever undertaken, is studied at length. The prospects for the future are evaluated, recognizing that it will be a dec ade or more before these attempts to offset the effects of Partition can be clearly meas ured.<br/><br/>"An enduring classic of scholarship and of insight. I know of no comparable ex position of the dynamic relation between rivers and men, their institutions and their politics." -David E. Lilienthal.<br/><br/>Mr. Michel is associate professor of geog raphy and planning at the University of Rhode Island.
