Pakistan Water Project 2

Water poverty in Pakistan is a serious and growing challenge affecting communities across the country. Although Pakistan is home to several major rivers, it still faces severe water scarcity due to rapid population growth, climate change, pollution, and inefficient water use.

Many areas suffer from limited access to clean and safe water, forcing people to depend on distant or unsafe sources for their daily needs. Declining groundwater levels and poor infrastructure make the situation worse, impacting health, agriculture, and livelihoods.

Water poverty also leads to food insecurity and economic difficulties, particularly for rural populations. To overcome this issue, Pakistan needs effective water management, improved irrigation systems, pollution control, and stronger policies that ensure the fair and sustainable use of water resources.
