The water crisis is the shortage of clean water. Its growing day by day because of climate change and the growing population across the globe. Pakistan is also facing a water crisis. In Pakistan, approximately 30 million people have no access to clean water and because of that, it causes the death of many people. Pakistan is ranked the third country in the world to face acute water shortage. In Pakistan, the source of water for 180 million people in the Indus River. Pakistan may face absolute Scarcity by 2040 amid the growing population and climate change. Pakistans’ 44 % drinking water is polluted which causes harm to many lives. In many small towns and villages across Pakistan, there is zero percent availability of clean water because of lack of governments water schemes, and because of corruption dams are not made as they keep the funds of dams for their own interest instead of making dams on rivers or solving water crisis of our beloved country. The people are also responsible like our government. The steps by which we can prevent Pakistan from going into a water crisis are:- educate people to use less water, not using too much water for cleaning our cars, dirty dishes and using of the shower for bath, etc. Steps government should take to prevent water crisis are:- recycle wastewater, making dams and de-salinization plants, etc. The government and people should take necessary steps to prevent water crisis for the future of Pakistan and we should also take steps now so our upcoming generation doesn’t face a water crisis.
