Akistan is running away from drinking water. The International Institute for Sustainable Development said that Pakistan is already a water pressure country. If the current trends are underway, it can become a water screen country by 2035. It’s not durable. If this challenge is restless, it will weaken the social fabric of Pakistani society. Access to water is very important for any country to initiate sustainable social and economic development. Pakistan is not exempt from this rules. Water is more valuable than diamonds and gold. Therefore, Pakistan should make every effort to protect water.
The rapid increase in population is the key reason to reduce the availability of water per capita in the country. According to UNFPA, Pakistan has more than 240 million people. Its population is expected to reach 403 million by 2050. With the same water resources, the current population increases 1.7 times. As a result, the availability of water per capita in Pakistan will decrease rapidly. The Pakistan Institute of Development Economics has pointed out that the urban population in the country will increase from 81 million (in 2022) to 160 million (in 2050). Unfortunately, Paide has also pointed out that 97.5 million people in cities will face water shortages by 2050. Pakistan cannot afford thirsty cities. In this way, it should control the increase in a lot of efficiency in its population.
We must understand the importance of every drop of water. In order to reduce the waste of water in homes, industries and agriculture, public policy attention and financial resources are essential to increase public awareness. In the challenges and possibilities of Pakistan’s citizens, Maqbool says that the city of Pakistan loses one -third of their water due to leakage in the piping system or theft of water distribution networks. It is important that the country invests resources in developing wastewater, fixing leaks and preventing infrastructure to prevent water theft.
Pakistan is in dire need of investing massive in waste water cleaning plants so that the country can recover more water than waste water, which can then be used for its various needs. Singapore can work as an excellent example for Pakistan in this regard. According to the World Economic Forum, the previous waste water is taken from waste water and takes it to a high -tech filtration system where viruses, bacteria and other impurities are removed. Once a high -tech filtration occurs, as a result, the water tolerates ultra -violet rays in the second phase, which sacterifies the water from any rest of the impurity. Once a UV disinfection occurs, the water is clean, safe and able to drink. It can be used in agriculture, industry and households.
We should focus on increasing the availability of per capita in Pakistan. Policy makers should give priority to the management of sustainable water resources in our urban areas. As the first debate is discussed, the population growth is the opposite of the availability of water per capita. To meet the challenge of water shortage, Pakistan will have to implement sustainable ways. There are a few steps to reduce rain water, recover wastewater, fix leakage and build a series of large, medium and small dams in Pakistan.
According to the UN Environment Program, the Bahamas, the Maldives and the Malta meet all their water needs through seawater cleansing. Cleaning of seawater can also help Pakistan. However, it is important to point out that seawater cleaning is a very energy -related process. Pakistan has been awarded considerable ability to renewable energy. The World Bank says that if Pakistan is at least 1 % of its geographical area for solar PV installation, it can generate all electricity. Salty water, seawater consists of a side product, chlorine, copper and salt. We need to develop technologies to remove these minerals from salty water and use it in industrial processes.
Dr Ashrat Hussain writes in Sindh’s economy that Karachi is a home of more than 16 million people, producing a quarter of Pakistan’s GDP. He says the country should focus on meeting Karachi’s water needs through deletion of renewable energy -powered seawater. He says that the city of Karachi should also prefer the management of sustainable water resources and recover the material from saline water and use them in the industrial process.
We need to deal with the problem of water mismanagement. A collection of strategies, including controlling the population, the construction of wastewater maintenance plants, fixing the leak in water pipes and the construction of more dams and the construction of seawater cleaning plants can increase the availability of strategies per capita. We cannot take it with appreciation because our survival will depend on how well we handle our water resources. We want to eliminate all structural defects in the management of water resources. And understand the importance of every drop of water.
