Summary/Abstract |
Of all the natural resources on which the modern world depends, water is the most critical. There are replacements for oil, but there is no substitute for water. It is essential to produce virtually all the goods in the marketplace, from food to industrial products, as well as to produce electricity, to refine oil and gas, and to mine coal and uranium. Put simply, water scarcity and rapid economic advance cannot go hand in hand. Yet water scarcity now affects more than two-fifths of the people on Earth, and by 2025 two-thirds of the global population is likely to be living in water-scarce or water-stressed conditions. Water-scarce nations face very tough choices and serious socioeconomic consequences. And the majority of the world's people living in water-related despair will be in Asia.

Summary/Abstract |
Recently, the world has celebrated World Water Day, on 22 March, is about focusing attention on the importance of water. This year’s theme, “Nature for Water”, explores nature-based solutions to the emerging challenges of water that we face in the 21st century. Environmental damage, together with climate change, is driving the water-related crises we see around the world. Floods, drought and water pollution are all made worse by degraded vegetation, soil, rivers and lakes. When we neglect our ecosystems, we make it harder to provide everyone with the clean water we need to survive and thrive.

Summary/Abstract |
From major multinational corporations to medium - and small scale enterprises, the water bottling industry has been thriving consistently. This is surprising, considering that bottle water is a costly option and the privilege of choice, at a high price tag of, say, 150 Rupees for a 19 litter bottle.

Summary/Abstract |
Imagine a city that requires 1,000 million gallons of water every day and then imagine a system that, even in the best case scenario, can carry only half of that water to the city. It is inevitable that dishonest officials, unscrupulous elements, profiteers and even crime rackets see this shortage as a window of opportunity to make a quick buck. Quite naturally, those vested in its failure would like to keep the system as inadequate and inefficient as it always has been. This is Karachi and a summary of its water woes for you.

Summary/Abstract |
One April day in 2013, six artists got together and envisioned Karachi as they would like to see it, in place of the crumbling, violent megacity at their doorstep. Months later, in November, the team brought to their city a three-day explosion of street art, theatre, discussions, documentary screenings, exhibitions and live music under the the Pursukoon Karachi Festival. For a lasting effect, the festival launched its ultimate undertaking - renovating the Karachi Cantonment Railway Station.
