Pak-China collaboration could help Pakistan combat water woes. “Pakistan is among the top ten most vulnerable countries to climate change.
One of the consequences of climate change is water scarcity. China-Pakistan water cooperation can help Pakistan cope with climate change and its derived disasters by managing water sources through the application of technical means”, said Dr. Muhammad Ashraf, Chairman of the Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR) according to a report published by Gwadar Pro on Sunday.
The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said last month that more than 10 million people, including children, still lack access to safe drinking water after the catastrophic flood in 2022. Flooding, the worst in 30 years, is threatening even the soil and vast groundwater reserves. Pakistan has a chronic water shortage problem, which has been exacerbated by floods.
