Water Governance: Institutional alternatives and development cooperation.
The recent policy of Trump administration of pulling the United States (US) out of Paris accord is the perfect example of how much we are concerned with the well-being of our planet.
World Economic Forum has also identified water crisis as the highest impact risk facing the world.
The plot of 2008 James Bond blockbuster ‘Quantum of Solace’ showed a similar situation, where a criminal syndicate aimed on global domination plans to seize control of water supply of Bolivia.
The Organization for Economic Corporation and Development (OECD) estimates that by the end of year 2050 the demand of water in the world will grow by 55 percent.
Government seems to be least interested in the issue, though federal budget 2017 has identified 33 water development schemes all over the country, from which 24 have been embarked for Baluchistan, however past record of the government and state of corruption and politics in the country has made the fate of these projects dubious.
With the funding from PPAF, BRAC Pakistan has completed twenty five drinking water schemes in Lasbeela district of Baluchistan.
While talking to BRAC Pakistan Project Manager in Lasbeela, Saif Ullah Mengal, he underlined the significance of the project and risks associated to it.
Motivation and awareness were also disseminated through meetings to ensure that the water management committees are functioning well.
Changing the conditions for water management and distribution in Pakistan is not only about taking new steps forward.
