总的来说，特别是印度河流域的水资源管理涉及以高能效方式将水文上可开发的资源从上游地区输送到气候有利地区，在那里灌溉有助于取代干旱条件，以种植作物和灌溉草地。换句话说：人类的干预为将水从更广泛的集水区分配到资源不足的较小生境奠定了基础。强调山区灌溉的做法是抵消了在不同的框架条件和特殊的发展问题发生的前陆地区的发展。在处理山区水的重要性时，必须评估三个方面：（1）自然因素及其对环境框架条件和技术适应过程的有效性;（2）社会因素及其对文化、经济和公平的影响;（3）体制因素及其对可持续增长和执行发展项目的重要性。在印度河流域高山地区分散式灌溉系统的研究中，系统理论方法重视不同系统要素之间相互关系的复杂性。干旱山区人类活动受生态限制因素的制约，具有一定的利用和适应策略。
Water management in general and in the Indus Basin in particular is concerned with the energy-efficient transportation of hydrologically exploitable resources from the upper zone to climatically favourable areas where irrigation helps to supersede arid conditions for the cultivation of crops and watering of meadows. In other words: Human intervention sets the stage for the allocation of water from a wider catchment area in a smaller habitat where this resource is deficient. Emphasis on mountain irrigation practices is counteracted with developments in the forelands where different frame conditions prevail and peculiar development problems occur. In dealing with the importance of water from the mountain regions three dimensions have to be evaluated: 1) natural factors and their validity for the environmental frame conditions and technological adaptation processes; 2) social factors and their impact on culture, economy and equitability; 3) institutional factors and their importance for sustainable growth and for the implementation of development projects. In the study of decentralized irrigation systems in high mountain regions of the Indus Basin a systems theoretical approach values the complexity of interrelationships between different systems elements. Human activities in arid mountain regions are restricted by limiting ecological factors and are characterized by certain utilization and adaptive strategies.
