The International Water Management Institute (IWMI) Pakistan celebrated World Environment Day 2023 by organizing a capacity building workshop for media and highlighting the role of water governance in fostering prosperity and sustainable development in Punjab.

Chairman Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR) Dr Dr. Muhammad Ashraf, while underscoring the importance of water in the light of Quran and Sunnah, on Thursday said that globally 2.1 billion people still lack access to safe drinking water and 4.5 billion people have no adequate facility for safely managed sanitation services.

The experts on Tuesday said groundwater recharge well was a cheaper and efficient technology based on natural solutions to conserve rainwater for household use, revive aquifer and mitigate the risk of urban flooding through most modern technology available at the local level.

A huge gap between the levels of recharge and extraction of groundwater is causing steady drop in the aquifers both in the rural and urban areas of Pakistan.
