This technical paper examines water and irrigation as a strategic planning dimension within the Punjab Spatial Strategy 2047. Given Punjab’s agricultural heritage and growing water stress, the paper analyses water usage by sector, land cover change, water infrastructure distribution, groundwater extraction trends, and water quality vulnerability areas. The analysis documents the spatial pattern of water infrastructure and identifies districts and zones at highest risk from groundwater depletion and water quality degradation. Findings inform the PSS’s treatment of water security as a spatial planning constraint, shaping the strategy’s approach to growth corridors, agricultural land protection, and infrastructure investment sequencing.
