Call for using water judiciously
Federal Minister for Climate Change Senator Sherry Rehman on Monday appealed to the masses to judiciously use water as the threat of scarcity was lurking due to prolonged dry and hot weather.
In her public awareness message on water security, the federal minister said the water situation in Pakistan was depicting severe shortage.
Sherry said: "We have to become responsible citizens and reduce water consumption and try to use less water in the workplace, factories, farms, and homes." There was a severe shortage of water in our rivers, barrages and canals, whereas the Indus River was suffering from drought, she added.
"If there is water then there is life, if there is water then there is everything", Sherry Rehman underscored. The United Nations, she said, has indicated that there would be severe water shortage in Pakistan by 2025.
