Authorities in Rawalpindi declare a water emergency. The city faces a worsening water crisis. Dam levels drop, and demand exceeds available resources. Residents are urged to conserve water as the situation worsens.
The Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) reports alarming water levels. The Khanpur Dam holds enough water for only one month. The Rawal Dam can meet demand for up to three months. Daily demand reaches 50 million gallons, but the supply is only 30 million gallons.
The underground water table drops to 650 feet. Below-average rainfall prevents recovery. The lack of rain forces a reliance on tube wells. Alternative water sources are also used.
Rapid population growth increases demand. Commercial activity contributes to the depletion of water resources. These factors cause water to be used faster than it can be replenished.
WASA warns of legal action for unnecessary water use. The agency calls for cooperation from residents in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The shortage could worsen with continued dry weather.
The water crisis affects both daily life and the environment. Authorities emphasize that everyone must work together. Continued conservation is crucial to prevent an even worse shortage. Rawalpindi needs all the support it can get.
The water emergency continues to be a priority. Authorities monitor the situation closely. Immediate steps are needed to address the crisis. People must take responsibility for their water usage. The city’s future water supply depends on collective action.
