Скачать или смотреть Water Crisis Quetta Nov 2015 | کوئٹہ میں پانی کا بحران

The situation in Quetta has escalated into a critical state, with the city facing acute water shortages, deteriorating water quality, and the looming specter of a potential humanitarian catastrophe. Quetta heavily relies on groundwater as its primary source of drinking water. Over the years, rapid urbanization, population growth, and the unregulated drilling of tube wells have led to the depletion of the city's aquifers. As a result, the water table has significantly dropped, making it increasingly challenging to access clean and potable water. The region's vulnerability to climate change has worsened the water crisis. Quetta has experienced irregular rainfall patterns and prolonged droughts in recent years, further exacerbating water scarcity issues. Quetta's water distribution infrastructure is outdated and inefficient, with a high rate of water leakages and losses. This inefficiency results in a considerable amount of the available water being wasted before it reaches consumers.
