Water security

Sir, Pakistan, in its early days, was a water rich country with plentiful resources of water , which of course is the fundamental requirement of every living being throughout the whole globe. But unfortunately, nowadays it is water scare country, because only 1000 cubic metres of water is available per day per person. Experts fear it will reach acute water scarcity by 2025 when 500 cubic metres may be all that is available. In many major cities of pakistan people have no access to safe water and are in a worsen condition.

However, due to unsafe water waterborne diseases are a common feature and the biggest cause of death, notably for children aged under five years. The country is drastically facing an acute of water shortage, because water is increasingly being polluted due to sewage dumpling, factory effluence entering supplies, and a rapidly growing population which requires more and more water . Climate change is also effecting rain and weather patterns in Pakistan. To sum up my letter I would like to suggest to the government to take dire actions on this major problem. Hence, without water it is improbable to survive on the earth.
