This brief talks about the increasing scarcity of water in Pakistan. The author warns that Pakistan’s water scarcity is a ticking time bomb and that if not tackled, the situation will affect agricultural production, industry and exacerbate inter-provincial disharmony in Pakistan. It could also adversely affect Pakistan's relations with India. To address the problem, he argues, Pakistan needs to add storage capacity, prevent water wastage and devise better methods of water management.
