Pakistan becoming water-stressed country: WB |
2007-03-23 |
A World Bank report issued on Thursday said Pakistan was moving from being a water-stressed country to a water-scarce country. Pakistan is already one of the most water-stressed countries in the world, a situation which is going to degrade into outright water scarcity due to high population growth. Pakistan is fast approaching the limit of its water resources. Only a small quantity of water is left to mobilising, but Pakistan can get much more value from the existing flows. Groundwater is being over-exploited in many areas, and its quality is deteriorating.
You fill a country with Muslims and soon it's desert. The two seem to go together. |
