Spain Le Monde, March 22, the lack of drinking water resources has already threatened the lives of Pakistanis.
Pakistan a large number of people died because of a lack of drinking water, and that's one of the reasons, one is because of its domestic water shortages; second, because people do not have safe drinking water. A shocking figures show Pakistan there are 40,000 child deaths due to diarrhea and other diseases caused by water pollution.


Pakistan not only lack access to safe drinking water, lack even the most basic health care. A Congressional investigation by Pakistan's water resources center research report, 75% wells of drinking water a misnomer, that is to say, only 25% is actually drinkable water in the drinking water wells. Researchers sampled 360 water of 24 major cities in Pakistan, only 90 (25%) Department of water is available for human consumption, and the remaining 270 water sources are contaminated and unfit for human consumption. 85 water samples collected from Pakistan's Sindh province, there are 82 (96%), the water quality of water source failed. In fact, not only in Sindh province, opened bó ěr pǔ shén tú in Sukkur, Karachi, and Baluchistan province's drinking water did not reach the minimum level of exam in test. Only the data slightly better conditions in Punjab province, is less than 63%.


"Through our experiments, these water resources, there are many kinds of pollution, if those waters are not processed, can cause varying degrees of damage. "Pakistan's parliamentary spokesman for the water resources Research Center, says Dr lǔ bó nà nà xī Dé bō Kè ā lǐ. Laboratory studies have shown that this water contained excessive amounts of biological bacteria, there are a lot of big iron, fluoride, arsenic, lead, and various solids dissolved in water. Leaks are common in Pakistan. Leaks will wash pollutants through daily the most basic water filtration into the body, such as washing clothes, personal hygiene, or is in the process of food preparation will bring contaminants into the body.


The Pakistani Government in recent years with a number of other countries, as well as the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank to cooperate, the implementation of the national drinking water policy. Also made a lot of efforts to expand the domestic drinking water coverage area, but to this day, lack of potable water in Pakistan has not been improving. National drinking water policy spawned many drinking water schemes and various other initiatives.


According to World Health Organization data for 2010 shows that Pakistan's national drinking water coverage is 92%. So far the quality of drinking water is the biggest problem facing Pakistan. By 2012, 88% of the country's water resources have been polluted.


United Kingdom's largest water resource organization believes that water resource policies introduced by these for the drinking water problems of governance in Pakistan is far from enough. They stressed that the 15.3 million Pakistanis still lack access to safe drinking water, with 94 million people lack access to basic health care.


In Pakistan, people have access to potable water has three channels: faucet, manual or motorized pumps and wells. Domestic residual water treatment equipment often goes wrong and it's in a big city. In those remote villages, people are not even water treatment equipment.


Pakistan is the world's leading water-deficient countries, as well as the population continues to grow and demand for water resources has increased. According to the Asian Development Bank survey data, Pakistan 1. 8,200,000,002, in accordance with the trend of population growth, per capita water resources for the enjoyment of a 1700 square meters. In fact, Pakistan's current annual per capita water resources are only for the enjoyment of 1000 square meters.


Experts warned of Pakistan's water crisis caused by two main reasons: the scarcity of water resources and poor management of water resources.


Last month, Pakistan's Energy Minister of water resources had to admit that in the next six or seven years, if the nation's drinking water is so bad, then Pakistan will be the countries face a crisis of survival due to lack of safe drinking water. At that time, the Government not only to save the sagging bad economy, controlling population growth, they have to face and withstand the deadly catastrophe caused by the drought.
