On Saturday (March 22), the world marked the annual World Water Day. This day is meant to raise awareness about the importance of freshwater. Unfortunately, people’s behaviour towards water consumption is reckless. They waste water carelessly without any concern that there could be a scarcity of water in the future.
Now, the consequences of this wastage are becoming increasingly evident as Pakistan has become one of the world’s most water-scarce countries. The government must come up with more efficient water-management systems and encourage people to use water more judiciously.
