    Quetta, Pakistan is experiencing a severe water crisis. The Hanna Lake that once contained turquoise water has completely dried up due to cyclical droughts and poor water management practices like deforestation. The Balochistan government has declared a state of water emergency in Quetta as underground water resources are depleting rapidly at 0.884 meters annually. Residents had to pay exorbitant prices, as much as PKR 5000, to water tanker companies to obtain water during Eid-ul-Adha celebrations due to the crisis.

    Quetta’s Water Crisis

    The article that I have summarized was taken from www.dawn.com and was
    published on September 2, 2018 and written by the dawn news editorial board

    When we see a dry stretch of land which once used to be a lake or the trees that
    previously lined a valley are now barren or the cutting down of almond trees (which
    consume a lot of water) we can come to a conclusion that, that area or city is under
    a water crisis. Such is the current situation in Quetta. Where the Hanna lake
    previously filled with turquoise water is now all dried up. The Balochistan’s
    government has declared a state of “water emergency” in Quetta. This state of
    emergency was months in the making due to natural factors such as cyclical
    droughts and man made conditions such as poor water management, deforestation
    and population growth. Currently the underground water resources are depleting at
    0.884 meters annually. Many residents had to pay the exuberant prices to water
    tanker companies as the companies started to exploit this current state of
    emergency. At the time of Eid-ul-Adha people had little but no option than to pay
    PKR 5000 for a single tank of water
