Water Issues in Pakistan
Water is on of the basic component of life. Thus, it can be termed as precious commodity on earth. In earlier times, people habitat around water and follow river lines. Our lives heavily dependent upon water. World's growing tensions over water is clearly visible. Officially Pakistan is declared as a water scarce country by the United Nation Organization. Over the 70 years of independence, Pakistan has used this natural asset ruthlessly, without fore sighting the future needs. There are many factors contributing in this depreciation likes of senseless usage, old irrigation system, lack of water reservoirs and last but not the least climate change. Pakistan is the 7th most ranked country affected by climate change. Glaciers are rapidly depreciating due to rise in earth's temperature which resulted to have floods and damages to the life and property. In many countries people paying for water but in Pakistan it is a free commodity which resulted in wastage of resources by the people in day to day life. Pakistan generates more than 60% of its revenues from agricultural which occupies the largest portion of water in the country. We have built very few dams since the independence in 1947 as compare to our neighboring countries like India and China. We have no system of recycling of rainy water.
Despite of these decencies, we have to believe in ourselves and formulate indefatigable policies in order to arrest the depreciation of this very commodity. we need to start metering system over domestic use of water so that people realizes the importance of water. those invincible regulatory authorities need to wake up on war footing. Government need to build more water reservoir to indulge trans boundary talks with the neighbouring countries in order to gain more water. These all mentioned solutions are possible but requires dedication, passion and self-belief from the policy-makers to address this phenomena.
I am preparing for competitive exams, therefore I have prepared that essay. I just wanted this essay may be checked by someone for its quality and grammar. I need to know how my written expressions are and how can I improve on this.
