This is the condition of Pakistan! There was an outcry due to lack of water in Karachi amidst power cuts

Pakistan karachi water shortage: On the one hand, heavy rains in Pakistan have increased the trouble of the people, while the situation is also such that people are getting water to drink with great difficulty. This situation is not in any village or far -flung area of Pakistan. This situation is in the city of Karachi, called the financial capital of Pakistan. According to ARY News report, Karachi may face a huge shortage of 10 crore gallons of water. The Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC) has already warned about the possible water reduction due to power cuts.

Why will there be a shortage of water in Karachi?

Quoting the spokespersons of Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation, ARY News said that the maintenance of Dhabaji station will start at 10:00 am on Monday morning which will run till 7:00 pm. During this time, the power supply of various feeders of Dhabaji pumping station will be partially closed. The distribution of water throughout the city will be directly affected by the disruptions of the power supply.

The people of Karachi have been upset before

According to ARY News, there is a possibility of water scarcity in many areas of Karachi due to disrupting power supply. Earlier, on July 29 last month, a similar problem occurred due to similar problems. Even then there was a huge shortage of water in Karachi and during that time there was a ruckus in the city due to lack of 8.5 crore gallons of water.

This is also a big problem in water supply

Meanwhile, let us also tell here that the leakage in the main water supply lines of Karachi has been a major problem. These main lines of 48 to 84 inches were laid between 1956 and 1971. These pipelines break down many times due to the old infrastructure, due to which the water supply of the city is disrupted.

‘Pakistan is moving towards water crisis’

According to Don’s report, Pakistan is moving towards water crisis due to climate change and population pressure. According to Dawn, between 1998 and 2004, there was a severe drought in the country, affecting more than 3 million people. Then in 2022, record monsoon rains brought devastating floods, which submerged one-third of the country. More than 1700 people were killed, millions of people were displaced and economic loss of more than US $ 30 billion. (ANI)
