Water- The basic need for life

                  PAKISTAN AND WATER

Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface, mostly in seas and oceans.Small portions of water occur as groundwater (1.7%), in the glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland (1.7%), and in the air as vapor, clouds (formed of ice and liquid water suspended in air), and precipitation (0.001%).
                This is a list of rivers wholly or partly in Pakistan, organised geographically by river basin, from west to east. Tributaries are listed from the mouth to the source. The longest and the largest river in Pakistan is the INDUS River. Around two-thirds of water supplied for irrigation and in homes come from the Indus and its associated rivers. The other rivers include JHELUM, CHENAB, RAVI, SUTLEJ.
                 There are also a number of small dams in Pakistan which fulfills the requirements of water, but water being non renewable source is unable to reuse if we continue to waste it at present rate. Yes, I am talking about saving water for the future because Pakistan is currently facing an acute water shortage that is likely to wreck havoc in the country in the coming years.


                      Although, Government of Pakistan has taken a step to build Diya and bhasha dams,but they need to do more and people must be educated about the conservation and usage of water also. Otherwise, our country should have to face severe water scarcity.
   1. There is a need to build more dams to             save water.
   2. We should turn off the tap after using          water.
   3. Shower with less water.
    4. Wash kitchen accessories in tub not under running water.
 These methods might be helpful by keeping in mind that "qatra qatra mil ky darya banta ha"  
               Your reviews are important to me.. God will make everything easy for you .
