<strong>Pakistan</strong> crossed <strong>the</strong> <strong>water</strong> scarcity line in 2005. If<br />
anything, that should have been <strong>the</strong> warning call for<br />
those in charge to act. Historically ignorant, we let it<br />
fall on deaf ears and now we face a bleak <strong>future</strong>.
<strong>Water</strong> <strong>Crisis</strong> in <strong>Pakistan</strong>
Continue<br />
<strong>Pakistan</strong> is very deep into a <strong>water</strong> crisis. According to <strong>the</strong> United<br />
Nations, <strong>Pakistan</strong> will run dry by 2025. This is a horrifying prediction,<br />
but not a surprising one. The experts have long called for measures to<br />
drastically reduce wastage and increase <strong>water</strong> reservation in <strong>the</strong> region.<br />
<strong>Pakistan</strong> is <strong>the</strong> most <strong>water</strong>-stressed country in <strong>the</strong> region. We have<br />
<strong>the</strong> highest <strong>water</strong> consumption per unit <strong>of</strong> GDP <strong>the</strong> world, thanks to<br />

oblivious to <strong>the</strong> threat and continue about our lives. Like every o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

agricultural products. However, we waste most <strong>of</strong> our<br />
<strong>water</strong> in <strong>the</strong> process. Devoid <strong>of</strong> advanced methodology<br />
like sprinklers, <strong>Pakistan</strong> uses surface irrigation <strong>–</strong> <strong>the</strong> most<br />
<strong>water</strong> ineffective method. Irrigation canals are prone to<br />
seepage and <strong>water</strong> loss. Flood irrigation techniques let<br />
river arsenic contami<strong>nation</strong> get into ground<strong>water</strong>, which<br />
also contaminates <strong>the</strong> ground<strong>water</strong>.

Our wastefulness extends to our households. Leaky taps and pipelines, along<br />
with excessive overuse <strong>of</strong> <strong>water</strong> deepen <strong>the</strong> shortage. The rural areas <strong>of</strong> Sindh<br />
and Balochistan depict deserts without a sign <strong>of</strong> <strong>water</strong>. Residents walk miles on<br />
an end to fill <strong>water</strong> unfit for human consumption.
