Abstract

How climate change has contributed to certain rivers that have already dried up and glaciers that are melting, in addition to many other factors that are to blame for the lack of irrigation on the land and for the frequent flooding that results in great destruction. It also takes into account the key element, which is the population's ongoing growth, which raises the need for water even higher. The paper also discusses potential remedies that can aid in halting the country's growing water crisis. The necessity for increased water storage is explored as a potential solution to Pakistan's growing water demand now and in the future.
