German ambassador washes car with bucket, saves water for Pakistan

Recent reports threaten that there will be no water in Pakistan by 2025

Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 2nd June, 2018) German Ambassador to Pakistan Martin Kobler seems more concerned about water insecurity in Pakistan than many of our authorities as he recently posted a picture on Twitter while washing his car using a bucket.

The citizens of Pakistan are fond of using excessive water for washing purposes while using a bucket for the same purpose can help save water.

In a bid to save water for Pakistan and spread awareness regarding the issue, Kobler said, “Using a bucket to save water while washing my car. Pakistan ranks third amongst countries facing water shortage. One major reason is excessive use. 100 liters wasted washing a car with running tap water. Many ways to save water in our daily life! #SaveWaterforPak”

Some of the recent studies have threatened that there will be no water in Pakistan by 2025. Reports by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR) have alerted that the country will reach absolute water scarcity by the year 2025.

Pakistan is on its way to become the most water-stressed country in the region, by the year 2040, according to the report.

This is high time that people start realizing the importance of water and start saving it as much as they can. This responsibility lies on each and every person residing within Pakistan as water shortage is what the country cannot afford with its increasing population.
