Pakistan to face acute water shortage by 2025: CJP
KARACHI : Chief Justice Saqib Nisar on Tuesday reiterated that the country would face an acute water shortage by 2025 if the country does not build water reservoirs on a war footing.
“If we do not work to fulfil our water needs, Pakistan will face an acute water shortage by 2025,” said the chief justice as he referred to one of the major issues plaguing the metropolis.
Justice Nisar was addressing a gathering during the ground-breaking ceremony of a new Supreme Court registry building in Karachi. “An institution is made of the people within the building who deliver justice.”
He further said that the country needs a better water management policy apart from building new dams.

The chief justice further said beverage companies consume seven billion gallons of water not including wastage.
“We have decided with the consensus of all provincial administrations that this water will have to be purchased and a legal solution is being decided.”
He also raised the issue of population control and said that in the next three decades, Pakistan will have a population of 450 million people. “We have to control the population to ensure Pakistan’s prosperity and that of our future generations,” he said.
