We lack the availability of clean drinking water in Pakistan
LAHORE: We cannot live if oxygen and water are not available. Water is the basic requirement of our body for us to survive. Though water is found everywhere — in rivers, seas, etc — we lack the availability of clean drinking water in Pakistan.
We should understand the importance of water in our life and stop misusing it. People who live in areas where there is plenty of water available, must use it judiciously and save it for those areas that have a severe water scarcity issue.
On the other hand, climate change is another cause of water scarcity. In future, the demand for water will increase further which is why the government should take steps to build dams in various areas and store water for the future.
Water should be conserved to ensure its continued availability.
