Sir: From the recent percentage of water usage in Pakistan, we can predict that Pakistan would be a dry land in 2025. The water saving of Pakistan is 11 percent, but the saved water of other countries exceeds 40 percent. Pakistan suffers from fresh water shortage is all because it lacks dams and reservoirs. According to the reports, during the monsoon season, 140 million acre feet water flows in rivers across the country, where only 36 percent we able to save and the 64 percent is wasted due to lack of planning and poor management. Cities like Karachi, Gwadar, Pajgure and Dasht are facing acute water shortage. So, the government should shows concern on this issue and eradicate it as soon as possible. SHAMSAL MANZOOR Turbat
