way on, dim in the collected water comes rushing down like a title where jo much was funny here, except in june 2019 a glacial lake formed in the neighboring. she's pear glass here. the government hastily constructed a concrete wool to prevent the water from overflowing. the banks, but there was no stopping the surge of water that eventually came rushing toward the village. however, in 50 years time, this region is expected to face mass water shortages when its glaciers become too small to provide the water needed. 5 major rivers flowed through pakistan. the induce jaylen chin up robbie and sat. luge all run across the plains of punjab. the rivers are formed by snow melt and run off water from the glaciers in the

the conflict continues down stream where the waters that flow from india to pakistan are a source of discord following the partition. india and pakistan were not able to agree on the use of water. but in 1960 narrow, then indian prime minister and pakistani president con, signed the induced water treaty in karachi. the treaty broke it by the world bank allows both countries to use the water of the induce river system. the 2 gun groups because of historic problems and i'm also diminished military, could never agree on journal manager them all. it was considered live african partition should take place. pakistan retains the exclusive usage rights for the 3 western rivers induce jail em and chin up while india holds the

rights to the 3 eastern rivers ravi bes and saint luke. the ongoing conflict between the 2 nuclear powers over cash. mia is yet another challenge to upholding the water treaty. since coming to power indian prime minister modi's hindu nationalist party b, j. p has further escalated the situation. mowdy wants to build dams that would block the flow of water into pakistan. once more, the induced river has become a flash point with the threat of nuclear war as a worst case scenario. because of pakistan's dry climate, about 90 percent of its agricultural relies on irrigation. you're going to have marcus, lagging revealing riff lark. so when you receive less wardrobe, lambda supplier. so there is a potential source of conflicts. and the 2nd redundant is that our board value

infected re, germany, married a specific from india packet and said that climate change is likely to put pressure on the, in the swanner drifting were dissolved the true countries when fall almost for 3 years. ah, so far, india and pakistan have refrained from settling their dispute over water allocation through military means. but now the situation in the disputed region is once again on the verge of coiling over. most of pakistan's rivers flow through the indian administered part of kashmir. in august of 2019 india took advantage of that fact by releasing enormous amounts of

water from its dams into pakistani territory. this resulted in flooding in pakistan's punch our province submerging hundreds of acres of agricultural land. the pakistani government reacted with anger. seeing the discharge of water into the salute river, which flows from india into pakistan as a clear violation of the indus war to treaty. ah, a few years earlier former cricket star and former prime minister emron con, made headlines across the world with a novel idea. in 2014, his party launched the 1000000000 trace unami initiative as a counter measure to the consequences of the climate crisis in south asia. pakistan is one of the countries with the lowest tree cover in the region. the aim was to plant 1000000000 trees in the 1st 4 year period,

and the government has promised to plant as many as 10000000000 by 2023. the hope is to increase the countries forested areas, which in turn will help in retaining rainwater and reduced the rise in temperature . so far, pakistan has recovered some 350000 hectares of forests and greenery. another of pakistan's, short term goals, is improving its water management with traditional farming methods. a high proportion of irrigation water is lost due to poor distribution that has farmers like a sheik bond gosh, taking the initiative in his lum abad. he's been introducing drip irrigation to pakistan's traditional agriculture to save the dime. and o ward gotta save time and water and to give water to the plants up to the standard

greenhouses east lot. the farmer has to pay the remaining 20 percent this way. pharmacy can save a lot of money and the country can save a lot of water. luckily that way he will bowl the other day ah, by 2025, pakistan could become a country that can no longer meet its water needs. the storage capacity of the reservoirs is not sufficient for the growing population, and the flow of the rivers has decreased. better water use is therefore key and bringing economic, social and environmental benefits to the country. reforms are intended to make water use more efficient, improve delivery, and raise awareness among the population.

in the whole, people are also rising to the challenge. they want to pressure politicians and policymakers across the country to do more people don't understand how bad it is that are just this year. they were floods an unexpected drains and been job that wiped out a substantial portion of the wheat crop that affected people's livelihoods. and for a country where a quarter of the population is out near the poverty line, a single event like that one dream is the difference between getting of a square mean a day or not. oh, a mad rough a alum brings the whole family alone to the climate demonstrations. 20. he wants to raise awareness about the problem among the younger generation. so pakistan's youth a worried about their future and the effects of climate change. august on
