Pakistan will bound to purchase water from foreign countries o Management of water crises: - International levels: Pakistan should involve SAARC and UN to urge India not to make dams on western rivers - National level: 1. National development economic programme 2005-10 2. Construction of dams and their improvement: – Kalabagh dam – Bhasha dam – Gomal dam – Thal reservoir – Raising Mangla dam 3. Utilisation of water: - Irrigation - Power generation - Drinking - Industry 4. Water price should be increased. 5. Nationwide campaign for the importance of water. o Conclusion Introduction: Many have lived without love, but no one without water. (W.H. Auden) Water is one of the precious natural resources in the world. It has a great significance for both living and non-living things. Unfortunately, it is becoming a hot potato among countries due to its scarcity. Particularly in Pakistan, the situation is quite alarming. Although Almighty Allah has blessed it teeming with abundant resources but when it comes to water, due to couple of reasons, Pakistan has fallen into the abyss of severe water crises. According to World Bank report, availability of water in Pakistan was 5000 cubic meters per capita in 1950 but now it has been dreadfully fallen to merely 1490 cubic meters per capita. There are several reasons which have caused such downfall – the violation of Indus basin water treaty by since 1980 when she started making dams on three western rivers namely Indus, Jhelum and Chenab. India’s nefarious steps against Pakistan have proved a death-nail for Pakistan. Moreover, in 1947, the matter of utilisation of water resources of Indus basin was raised by Pakistan and the boundary common, chaired by Sir Radcliff awarded control barrages to India, while 90 percent of irrigated land lay in Pakistan. Notwithstanding, the misery does not end here because lack of poor management by government, unrest among provinces claiming right on quota of water and inefficient role of IRSA, lack of dams especially the issue of Kalabagh dam, wastage of water its seepage coupled with its lack of importance among people and also absence of a system of affluent disposal on barrages and canals in Punjab and Sindh being the challenge of IBIS-Pakistan have further triggered the water crises. The rapid change in climate followed by global warming also adds fuel in its scarcity. Now the impacts have arisen to an alarming situation because there is a threat of war between Pakistan and India on water. If water crises prevail, it would be fierce blow to agriculture sector of Pakistan in the result of its devastation and it will lead to an immense loss of economy because agriculture is a backbone of the country and it contributes about 24 percent of its GDP and 70 percent of exports are also dependent on this sector. The scarcity of water will also cause unrest among people and Pakistan would be bound to purchase it from foreign countries. To efficiently manage such glooming crises of water, it is the dire need of the hour Pakistan should involve SAARC and UN to urge India not to make new dams on rivers having exclusive right as per Indus basin Treaty and stop making work on Wullar, baglihair, Kishanganga and Uri II project. The National Development Economic Programme 2005-10 started by ex-Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani to constructe new dams by 2016 was indeed a great step. The improvement of dams, preservation of ground, and especially construction of Kalabagh dam would be very beneficial. The raising of Mangla dam by 40 feet and construction of Thal reservoir, Bhasha dam and Gomal dam are such worth taking measures that can efficient manage the prevailing water crises. The proper utilisation of water by irrigation, power generation, drinking and industry should be practiced. http://www.cssforum.com.pk/css-compulsory-subjects/essay/essays/96763-water-crisis-impacts-management-pakistan.html

It’s quite evident that people waste water due to its low monetary value. The government should increase its price so that people use it carefully. Nevertheless, a nationwide campaign and headed by government with the help of media to let people aware of the importance of water, its present crises and ways to manage would be and effective measure to get the country out of water crises.
