damn dam is needed

its a question raised by the generations of Pakistan that why we are facing water crisis as its alarming situation.Decision of making dam has been taken by Prime Minster of Pakistan but when it will be implemented?.The Prime Minister Imran Khan did appeal to overseas Pakistan to donated for the construction of Dam.We should appreciate the Chief Justice of Pakistan for awaring the nation about water crisis.

we can not deny that water is our basic need as our body rely on 70% of water but unfortunately cities of Pakistan facing water crisid and the citizen of lower areas drink impure water as it becomes their compulsion for their existence.According to UN report,Pakistan is on its way to become the most water stressed country in the region, by the year 2014.

Pakistan had almost 5,000 cubic metres of water per person, a number that has gone down to only 1,000 cubic metres per person and that's really tragic that our major countries have water supply on its border line. 

According to another alarming report given by Wapda,regarding the daily water requirement of our major cities, the figure stated that Islamabad needs 176m gallons per day but is only receiving 84m gallons,Karachi needs 1,100m gallons per day but is receiving 600m gallons,Peshawar needs 250m gallons but is receiving only 28m gallons so hearing such low water supply figures give goosebump that 2025 year will bring danger in scarcity of water.

Water usage can not be less as we require it every time and anywhere and terrible the situation will be that you open tap and water will not be coming, you need to do boring in your house but then you come to know that your land has nothing for the purpose of water digging. hope that the debate that is going on these days for the construction of Kalabagh Dam will be implemented by the government and as a citizen it is demanded to donate for the same or safe water atleast till the dam is constructed.
