An Analysis of Household Income, Consumption Expenditure, and Savings Before and After The Mirani Dam Right and Left Bank Canals In District Kech, Balochistan, Pakistan

Abstract

 This study looked at household income, consumption, and saving patterns in the Mirani dam command area before and after the dam's two irrigation canals were built. A total of 371 households were chosen for the data collection for this study in the vicinity of the Mirani dam command area. A T-statistics technique was used to compare income, consumption, and saving before and after the Mirani dam on both canals. The data analysis result reveals that all three variables have changed significantly in the locality of the Mirani dam command area. The income, consumption, and saving patterns of the three types of farmers have significantly improved. These changes in the variables were caused by the availability of irrigation water in the vicinity of the Mirani dam command area.
