We are also facing the problem of water shortage which has been worsening with the passage of time
HYDERABAD: Pakistan has been gradually receiving reduced rainfall with the passage of time, and sometimes there is excessive rainfall which results in floods. So we have either drought-like conditions or floods. This situation shows the effects of climate change.
We are also facing the problem of water shortage which has been worsening with the passage of time. On the one hand, we are facing water shortage and on the other a big amount of water flows into sea and goes to waste. Yet whenever authorities emphasise the urgent need for new dams the issue is politicised. We have had enough of politicisation of important national issues. I urge politicians and political parties not to do such politics and realise the gravity of the situation and act together to further the cause of new dams.
We should act on the issues of dams and climate change without any further delay.
