Pakistan is facing a severe water crisis. Climate change, mismanagement, and depleting reservoirs are pushing the country toward disaster. With major dams nearing dead levels and agriculture at risk, food insecurity and inflation are rising. Cities like Karachi and Lahore are already experiencing shortages. Urgent reforms, modern irrigation techniques, and better water management are needed to prevent catastrophe. Can Pakistan act before it’s too late?

What happened to your head?
For Semi Arid countries like Pakistan , 240 Million population is too high .
Hope the govt. doest listen to programs like this .
Harappa and Mohenjodaro civilizations disappeared for the same reason.
Pakistani is ruled by undemocratic forces who are making dollars
Everything has become a joke in this country. No system nothing. Only disappointment for people and this incumbent government has failed. They just come on Press and give statements..

Indus water treaty is outdated. Both countries need to sit and rework how to manage floods during monsoon and draught later on
Indian government has implemented a policy to have rain harvesting bore in every house to tackle the water table drop in their cities. With this technique the rainwater on roof is directly fed to ground instead of wasting in streets. Why our government don't take such initiatives and guide people to do that?
It is alarming signal!!
We should to focus sustainable water management for water extraction, reuse, recycling and storage.

US has huge number of natural lakes, they are not under any water shortage threat still look how they are trying to conserve this vital resource. On the other hand what we are doing.
If pakistan spent less on defence and more on infrastructure, this problem would not have happened. The pakistani government is willing to sacrifice growth of its people, just for shiny toys for PA.
An excellent, well researched report. DAWN, keep the good work .

PM Jawahar Lal Nehru was overly generous in allocating 80% of water to Pakistan in the Indus Water Treaty of 1960 . Maximum water for Pakistan , as a lower riparian nation , should have been less than 50% India should seek a review in her favour of the Indus Water Treaty. River Beas is only a tributary of River Sutlej . Beas does not even enter Pakistan. Chenab i.e. Chandrabhaga is basically a river of Himachal Pradesh. It belongs to HP and has a very small Kashmir connection. Chenab's waters should be diverted to Ravi and other Indian rivers including Yamuna. India got in her share waters of only two rivers compared to 3 rivers for Pakistan.. ,,,,,,,,,,,,, Sutlej Yamuna Link Canal should be expanded to Chenab -Sutlej – Yamuna Canal .
Why u need water?? Doesn't that book provide all those stuff

Believe me, Pakistani people are not to blame nor the Pakistani government for this water crisis. The generals and political dynasties always plan for the future. Pakistani people are extremely talented and educated each year Pakistan's population consistently grows adding more to its number despite this crisis or any crisis that's the true secret of Pakistan's long-term success.
Each year economic growth stays at 1 or -1 percent ensuring a better future for the land of purity which is Pakistan the pak land!
Fresh water crisis is the biggest issue of time for Pakistan.
