On 22nd December 1992 the general assembly of United Nations announce to celebrate world water day on 22nd march. Nature has gifted Pakistan with natural resources as well as water resources, and we are not using this resources on proper way. Every year the amount of water which are waste on sea without using it make many dollars. In 1951 the water resources in Pakistan were 5650 cubic meter but in 2002 it was recorded 1400 cubic meter, it is 1000 cubic meter .It is written in the report of UN that the amount of water flash in the washroom of developed country , with that amount of water the living things of the other world use for their drinking purpose, for the making of meal and for washing clothes. The use of water increases day by day. According to UNESCO the citizens of developed countries uses 10% more water than the developing countries. Developed countries uses 500 to 800litres of water daily and the developing countries uses 60 to 150litres. If the use of water will remain same then after 25 years the water will not be enough for human beings in the Earth. According to report of UNESCO there are 263 countries which are connected to each other by river. There are 145 countries in which river flow from the border of one country and enters into other country, Pakistan and India are also included in these countries. The 263 rivers have one-third part in the middle of more than two countries. According to report the seven wars have been fought in the world. The UN introduces water day to stop the misuse of water, but the developed countries are not in the control of UN so which effect they would face for not making the water day? Pakistan must solve their water problems with Afghanistan and India so Pakistan have to inform UN and UN will help Pakistan only in that case if Pakistan will carefully make Dams and stop the misuse of water.

Looming threats of acute shortage of water due to lack of protection of the Wetlands

Industrial affluent is entering in in Keenjhar Lake and other water resources, Climate Change is also affecting the water resources – Seminar
Karachi (Jamshed Bukhar): Due to Climate Change and by not protecting the water resources and wetlands, Pakistan will face acute water shortage in the future. Besides, it can also affect the crops which can create food shortage. These thoughts were expressed by the speakers at a Seminar organized by IUCN (an international organization for the protection of nature) in collaboration with the Sindh Coastal Development Authority and Fisheries at Keenjhar Lake (Thatta) on the World Wetlands Day.
Besides, students of the colleges, various experts from different sectors also participated in the Seminar.
Mr. Mahmood Akhtar Cheema, Country Representative of IUCN Pakistan, Mr. Shamsul Haq Memon, Consultant, Sindh Coastal Development Authority, Director General Fisheries, Sindh, Mr. Ghulam Mohammad Meher and Project Director, Sindh Coastal Development Authority also spoke in the Seminar, whereas Director General, Sindh Coastal Authority, Mr. Muhammad Pathan was the special guest at the occasion.
Mr. Mahmood Akhtar Cheema said that consumption of water has increased with the increase in the population. We used to have per capita 5,000-6,000 cusecs of water which has been reduced to 1,000 cusecs. Due to Climate Change and improper system there will be shortage of water. Sometimes heavy rains can cause floods and sometimes dryspells can affect the crops.
Shamsul Haq Memon said that conservation of wetlands is extremely important for the economic development. Wetlands are not only major source of food, but also provide wood and fodder for the cattle and other needs of life. They provide livelihoods to thousands of people. But now the wetlands are facing a lot of threats due to Climate Change. They are facing natural and man-made calamities. Ghulam Qadir Shah said that Pakistan has 230 wetlands out of them 46 are protected areas spanning over 1500 hactres of land. These wetlands play crucial role in the growth of mangroves. A patch of 600 meter mangrove forest can reduce the effect of the Tsumani wave upto 80%. These wetlands provide habitat to a lot of animals. Now the affluent from the Kotri Industrial area is being released into Keenjhar Lake which extremely hazardous for human health. They said that if the protection will not provided to the wetlands, the coming generations will face a lot of problem in the future.
