‘Power crisis will soon pale before water crisis’ Daily “The News” 23. December, 2013.
An excerpt of an interview by Haris Zamir of the ADB Country Director Pakistan, Dr. Werner Liepach, which deals with an eye opening issue, concerning Pakistan’s near future.
Q. In a report released recently by ADB, Pakistan was pinpointed as one of the most water-stressed countries in the world, not far from being classified as ‘water-scarce’. What is your take on this?
A. ADB released a study, financed by the Friends of Democratic Pakistan, on water issues earlier this year. The report says it all. Much needs to be done. The issues are known but the important thing is to move to implementation. Unless the issues are addressed today, this will become an issue tomorrow against which today’s power crisis will appear like a small piece of cake.
