5. FOREWORD
As an inescapable concomitant with the traditional route of economic development, Pakistan has
been facing natural resource degradation and pollution problems. The unsavory spectacle of air pollution,
water contamination and other macro environmental impacts such as water logging, land degradation
and desertification, are on rise. All this, in conjunction with rapid growth in population, have been
instrumental to the expanding tentacles of poverty. In order to assess the environmental problems as a
prelude to arrest the pace of degeneration and provide for sustainable course of economic development,
the availability of adequate data is imperative. This publication is an attempt to provide relevant statistics
compiled through secondary sources collected from different departments and organizations.
The task of environmental data collection does not consist just in determining the frame and
approaching the selected sources of information because environmental statistics per se do not exist as
a ready-to-compile/pick category as generally perceived about data and statistics. The information on
environment has generated through deliberate scientific observations and measurements in a consistent
way, under the aegis of specialized agencies. Since it is skill and resource intensive pursuit and generally
undertaken in public sector, the overall budgetary/financial constraints do take the toll of the canvas and
continuity of environmental data generation down the time lane.
Consequently, availability of the statistics falls short of desired level. Further, the studies
pertaining to normal over a period of time are repeated after long time intervals, which may not conform
with the quinquennial periodicity of this document. Similarly, many variables antecedental, associated
with and, consequential to, environment are derived from Population Census, which is yet to be carried
out even though the stipulated decennial time frame has long been overstepped.
Nevertheless, the latest update of the compendium is a good attempt to mirror quite a few
environmental factors as a means to raise awareness and help stay focus on the pivotality of
environmental concerns for instituting sustainable development paradigm-the only way forward to
ensuring the continuity of human race on the face of planet earth. It expected that it will assist the
Government for developing new policies and further necessary measures to improve the environment.
I hope that researchers, planners and environmentalists would find this document useful for their
specific pursuits. Comments/suggestions for further improvement of this report would be welcomed and
will be highly appreciated.
The report is also available on www.pbs.gov.pk.

7. Pakistan Bureau of Statistics prepared the 1st Compendium on Environment Statistics of
Pakistan in 1998 under the Technical Assistance of Asian Development Bank in accordance with, as far
as possible, the guidelines of United Nations “Framework for the Development of Environment Statistics
(FDES)”. It has since been updating it as a regular activity with quinquennial periodicity. Compendium
on Environment Statistics of Pakistan 2020 is the fourth update in the series follow the previous format
with addition of COVID-19 data. The predecessor of the current one presented the statistics of 2015
vintage. Notwithstanding exclusive reliance on mail inquiry, all possible efforts have been made to collect
available secondary data for the compendium. This report is an attempt to present a real picture of
highliting the factors which effects the environment.
I hope this opportunity to acknowledge the debt of gratitude owed to our worthy respondents of
data both in public and in private sector. I would also like to appreciate the staff of Social Statistics Section
for their untiring efforts towards compiling this document in accordance with in the stipulated periodicity.
I do hope that the planners, researcher and other users at large will find this document useful for their
varied inquests.

SECTION - A
Socio-Economic Activities and Natural Events
As national and international level the environmental problems are mainly caused by a variety of
demographic and socio-economic factors viz, population growth, agricultural and industrial development,
poverty, etc. Human activities are associated with environment involving continuous exchange and
transformation of materials. Man’s exploitation of resources without sustainability considerations leads to
environmental degradation to the detriment of biosphere.
This section presents data on population growth, housing, Labour force, land utilization,
agriculture, large-scale manufacturing, minerals, energy, transport and communication, water quality,
noise level, waste generation and disposal, air quality, wave heights and tides and recreation.
A-I Demographic Situation
Average annual growth rate of population calculated based on decennial Censuses. 2.45
percent in 1961, peaked to 3.69 % in 1972 and set on declining thereafter to the level of 2.40 percent in
2017 Census. Rural growth followed the overall pattern while urban growth has since been declining.
However, in line with the expected demographic transition, percentage population share of rural areas
has been decreasing while that of urban areas increasing.

Rapid urbanization is one of the foremost hallmarks of the demographic scene of Pakistan.
The five most populous cities of Pakistan are shown in Table A-II. According to the Census, 2017 the
most populous city of Pakistan is Karachi having population of 14.91 million and second most populous
city is Lahore having population of 11.13 million. In the last 19 years, a rapid increase has been observed
in the population of Lahore city and the population becomes doubles as compared to the previous census
i.e.1998. As Pakistan’s resourcefulness does not concede ample space to prioritize infrastructural
development, rapid urbanization is likely to lead to proliferation of slums to the detriment of physical,
social and administrative environment of urban localities.

The age composition of country’s population has significant implication on the current and
future development of the country and it determines the potential for future growth of specific age groups.
Therefore, the most important demographic characteristic of a population is its age structure or the
proportion of people at each age, by sex. Population of any country can be categorized into three broad
groups. These are children, young and senior citizen. The population the group of children between 0 to
14 years of age is economically unproductive and need family care, playgrounds, education and medical
care. They depend upon working population for their necessities. Countries with young population need
to invest more in schols colleges and technical institutes.
The young population is considered and asset of a nation. This age structure of a population
affects a nation’s key socio-economic issues. These people are economically productive and they
comprise the working population. Nevertheless, the rapid growth in this group can become employment.
However, the government with appropriate polices can utilize this youth bulge for the development of the

economy. The senior citizens also belong to dependent group and needs medical facilities and old age
benefit system.
It is apparent from the Table A-III that 34 percent population is under the age group of 15 years
and 7 percent population is in the age group of 60 years and above in 2020. This 41 percent population
is economically dependent and needs food, and medical facilities. Pakistan has a remarkable young age
structure and it can be observed from the table that 59 percent population belongs to the age group of
working class that is 15-59 years. This dynamic group is the main source to raise the economic growth
and can create and opportunity for the country to boost its productive capacity. However, this
demographic dividend is dependent on the investment being made in the human development education,
training and health.

A-I.ii Urban-Rural Population Distribution
The urban population increased from 17.8 percent of the total population in 1951 to 36.4 percent
in 2017, registering an annual growth rate of 2.4 percent. Rural population decreased from 82.2 percent
in 1951 to 63.6 percent in 2017. In terms of absolute numbers, urban population grew from 5.99 million
in 1951 to 75.58 million in 2017 posting 13 times increase in 72 years, while rural population quadrupled.
(Table A-I). Arguably, Pakistan is on the way to rapid urbanization. Percentage share of population of
Pakistan by urban/rural can be seen (Table A-V Figure A-4)

A-I.iv Global Perspective
United State Population Reference Bureau (PRB) publishes tabulations on world’s
demographics. According to PRB’s estimates-, which appear to be extrapolation of intercensal growth,
rate under certain assumptions- Pakistan ranks fifth among the most populous countries of the world n
2020. Previously, Pakistan ranked 10th in 1991, seventh in 1998, and sixth in 2015. Data I can be seen
in Table A-VI.

A-I.v Fertility
In the absence of vital statistics registration system and consequential inadequacy of data, it is
difficult to estimate accurate fertility rates in the country. However, some direct and indirect estimates of
fertility under different assumptions have been made through various surveys. One of the major source
of such information is the Pakistan Demographic Survey (PDS) from 1985 to 2007 conducted by Federal
Bureau of Statistics. However, the same cannot be conducted sofar, NIPS conducted PDHS survey on
the basis of this survey indicates decline in total fertility rate (TFR) from 4.80 in per woman in 1998 to
3.26 in 2020 as projected population of the NIPS (Table A-VII). Antecedently, the crude birth rate (CBR)
declined from 27.3 per thousand populations in 2003 to 26.1 percent per thousand populations in 2019
by the NIPS. (Table A-VIII). These trends allude to a sort of demographic transition towards sustainable
population dynamics.

A-I.vi Mortality
Crude death rate (CDR) provides an overall picture of the level of mortality in the country. CDR
declined from eleven (12) per thousand in 1985 to seven (7) in 2019 during a span of thirty (34) years
(Table-VIII). Better health facilities, improved nutrition and introduction of vaccination programme are
some of the prime factors to have resulted in the decline of mortality rate.
A-I.vii Infant Mortality Rate
Infant mortality rate (IMR) is an important indicator of health situation in a country. Pakistan has
been having very high infant mortality rate. IMR was 79.9 per thousand live births in 1999 declined to 60
19. 7
per thousand live births in 2019. However, it is still high (Table A-V) as compared to other developing
countries.

A-I.viii Life Expectancy
Expectancy of life at birth is an important indicator of survivability. In the absence of vital statistics
registration system, the adequate data on age specific deaths are not available. Table below A-IX
presents life expectancy at birth by sex. It indicates that expectancy of life at birth, which was 62.50 for
male and 62.40 for female in 1999 increased to 67.7 for male and 68.7 for females in 2020. Higher stride
in the case of females indicates gravitation towards progressive socio-cultural practices.

A-II Housing
As per Population Census and household based Surveys, a "household "or a" housing unit" is
defined as a socio-economic unit consisting of individuals who live together whether related to each other
or not but sharing the same kitchen. In the context of housing units’ deficit at the time of independence
due to mass migration, coupled with high population growth, the country has continuously been facing
shortages of housing units.
During this period, urban areas of Balochistan and Punjab witnessed increase in the construction
of housing units while pace of construction in KP and Balochistan remained almost on the same level. As
for pressure on housing units, the average household size during 2012-13 to 2018-19 (Table A-X)
remains same; though seem to be relieving in all provinces, except Balochistan and Punjab.

Analysis of data suggests that 51.17 percent of housing units were using wood as cooking fuel
in 2014-15, which decreased to 36.1 percent in 2018-19. About 41.42 percent of the households were
using Gas and oil as cooking fuel in 2014-15, which increased to 47.5 percent in 2018-19, (Table A-13).
A-II.iii Housing Units by Water Facilities
An important basic need for the population is the access to safe drinking water. In 2013-14 only
26 percent housing units had access to tap water either available inside or outside the housing unit while,
about 61 percent of the households were using ground water i.e. either hand pumps or Motor Pump, and
the remaining 13 percent were using water from dug well and others (Table A-14).
Analysis by area shows that about 52 percent of the urban population had access to tap water
either inside or outside of the housing units in 2013-14 while, the share of such category decreased to
31 percent in 2018-19. The situation in rural areas was worst where only 11 percent of the rural housing
units had facilities of safe tap water in 2013-14, which was reported same i.e 11 percent in 2018-19.
Whereas about 75 percent of rural housing units were using ground water in 2013-14 which increased to
73 percent in 2018-19 whereas, about 10 percent were using water for drinking purposes either from
other sources i.e., ponds, springs, rivers and streams in 2013-14 the share of which increase to 12
percent in 2018-19 in rural areas (Table A-14).
A-II.iv Housing Units with Latrine Facilities
According to (PSLM) survey, about 74 percent of the households had flush facility in their toilets,
9 percent were without flush and 17 percent of the households had no latrine facility in their housing units
in 2013-14. The area wise analysis indicates that 98 percent of the urban household had flush system in
their toilets in 2013-14, which reported same i.e 98 percent in 2018-19. While 1 percent had no flush
facility in urban area, 2013-14 which is reported same i.e 1 percent in 2018-19 and 1 percent of the urban
household did not have toilet facility in the housing units in 2013-14, which remain the same in 2018-19.
The situation in rural areas has improved in respect of having flush facility as compared to urban areas
and it increased from 61 percent in 2013-14 to 70 percent in 2018-19. The overall situation has also
improved in 2018-19 and the percentage of housing units having flush facility in their toilets increased to
80 percent as compared to 2013-14 when it was reported as 74 percent (A-15).
A-III Labour Force
The economically active population or Labour Force is the group of persons who produce goods
and services to meet the requirement of the society. In Pakistan, labour force has defined as all persons
ten years of age and above who are working or looking for work for cash or kind, one week prior to the
date of enumeration. The labour force participation rate in Pakistan is comparatively low mainly due to
low participation of female in the labour force. There may be several explanations for this however; few
are stated as early age marriages, strong social and cultural influence on free movement of women and
absence of an organized labour market. The main sources of labour force and employment statistics are
decennial Population Census and Labour Force Survey conducted by Pakistan Bureau of Statistics on
annual basis. According to the latest available Labour Force Survey, 2017-18, about 44.3 percent of the
total population was in the civilian labour force. The analysis of data of last 36 years indicates that the
total Civilian Labour Force that was 27.57 percent in 1981 increased to 44.3 percent in 2017-18.
25. 13
According to Labour Force Survey 2017-18, about 39.7 percent of the urban population (10 years and
above) was in civilian labour force as against 47.1 percent for rural areas. The percentage of total un-
employed was 2.57 percent in 2017-18. The urban unemployment rate was slightly higher as compared
to that of rural areas (Table A-16 to19).
A-IV Land Utilization
Pakistan has 79.61 million hectares of land out of which 58.02 million hectares area of land (73%)
have been surveyed and reported. Of the total reported area, only 40 percent was cropped area till 2018-
19(R). The cropped area registered same during the last few 20 years. In the face of increasing
population, it is imperative to employ all means to increase agricultural productivity including as well the
expansion of area under cultivation.
The net area sown during 2018-19 was 71 percent of the total cultivated area. About 7.75 million
hectares of areas was shown more than once during 2018-19 (Table A-20). The analysis of data shows
that Area sown more than once is slightly increasing since 2004-05. The share of “Area sown more than
once" was about 33 percent of the total cropped area during 2018-19. This is an encouraging trend, and
amounts to substantial expansion in productive capacity to the benefit of attaining food security.
A-V Agriculture
A-V.i Area under Agriculture Crops
The largest segment of the cultivated area (8.7 million hectares) went to wheat crop during
2018-19 followed by Rice (2.8 million hectares), Cotton (2.4 million hectares), Gram (0.9 million hectares),
Maize (1.4 million hectares), Sugarcane (1.1 million hectares). An analysis of data for 2008-09 to 2018-
19 regarding area under agricultural crops indicates fluctuating trends for different crops, however, shows
increasing trend for some of the major crops like Maize, cotton, rice and fruits like grapes and dates
(Table A-21).
A-V.ii Production of Agriculture Crops
The wheat is foremost of the major crops in terms of area and production. Production of wheat
during 2018-19 is 24.4 million tones as against 24.03 million tones in 2008-09. The rice production was
6.95 million tones in 2008-09, which increased to 7.2 million tons in 2018-19. Like area under cultivation,
production of various important crops also indicates fluctuating trends during 2008-09 to 2018-19. This
may be attributed more too natural than economic causes. However, there was significant increase in the
production of major crops during 2018-19 as compared to 2008-097 (Table A-22).
A-VI Water
Pakistan has entered into the 21st century with rising challenge to meet food and fiber
requirements for its population for domestic consumption and export. Water in Pakistan is becoming
scarce, while major parts of conventional resources have already been developed.
In order to meet the needs of water and sanitation, food and fiber, industry and environmental
protection, concerted efforts are required to develop the requisite resources with futuristic considerations.
Achieving sustainable development will, thus be a major challenge and conservation and optimum
utilization of available resources will undoubtedly be one of the most critical considerations in this regard.
River flows: Pakistan is one of the very few countries in the world whose water resources entirely depend
upon one river system- the Indus Basin. Although, in addition to the Indus River System, the Kharan
26. 14
Closed Desert Basin and the Mekran Coastal Basin located in Balochistan have some development
potential but it constitutes less than three percent of the total surface water.
Of the total available annual flow of 145MAF in the Indus Basin, 105MAF has already being used
through 19 barrages with 45 canal systems above and below rim stations. Average annual escapades
below the Kotri Barrage going to the sea are 35MAF. Flow below Kotri provides an indication of the
available potential since it is the result of all enroute inflows, outflows, gains and losses of the system. In
order to develop and utilize the surplus flows, some provision has to be made for minimum flow below
Kotri to meet daily requirements of drinking, cultivation of riverine area, forests etc., and occasional needs
for pallah fish, mangroves and to check the saltwater intrusion.
It would be pertinent to reiterate that the yield of our crops is lower than the world average in
spite of favourable combination of land and agro-climatic environments. The primary reason for it is
inadequate availability of water at critical times during the crop growth. The problem of already-restricted
supplies is being compounded by the continuous silting-up of the existing reservoirs, which had initially
provided some flexibility in meeting the demand-based water needs of crops.
Rainfall Harvesting Monsoon and westerly disturbances are two main weather systems that contribute
to the rainfall in Pakistan. The average annual rainfall is 291mm (11.4 inches). Nearly two-third is received
in the Kharif (summer), while the rest in the Rabi (winter). During the three Monsoon months (July to
September), almost half of the rainfall is received.
While a substantial portion of the rainfall occurring in the cultivated areas of the Indus Plain is
consumed by crops as a consumptive use, in the foothill areas of Pakistan rainfall gives rise to flashy hill
torrents, and major portion of the flow goes waste, in the form of evaporation. From the development
point of view the potential of flows in hill torrent, Pakistan can be divided in to 13 major regions:
The hill torrents bring in flashy floods of short durations but of high magnitudes. Due to steep
gradients, flood flows move with enormous velocity which results in the erosion of banks and bed of
channels. Flood flows debauching onto the plain areas are generally charged with high silt contents,
which preclude their management, by dams or reservoirs. As the flood flows traverse the flatter areas,
they rapidly deposit their silt load because of reduction in velocity. Silting and scouring phenomena are
largely responsible for frequent changes in flow regime and shifting of flow paths of hill torrents that are
typical of geological young “fans”. Unpredictable and erratic nature of floods and high silt contents thus
pose a serious challenge to the ingenuity of water planners and engineers for their economic
management.
Presently, a major part of hill torrent runoff not only goes waste but also causes untold miseries
further aggravating conditions in the areas, which are grossly underdeveloped. A rational planning of the
existing water resources can ensure a systematic agriculture to lay the foundation for the socio-economic
uplift. The conservation of flows of various hill torrent areas also conforms with the overall national
planning for bringing additional areas under cultivation so as to produce more food, besides, improving
the socio-economic conditions of the local population.
Glaciers and snow: Glacial area of the Upper Indus is around 22,500 sq. km, where on an average
three to four meters of snowfall occurs every year. The Upper Indus catchments contains some of the
largest glaciers in the world outside the Polar Regions. Glacier area of the Kabul River is located near
Unai Pass of the Southern Hindukush, while glacial and snowmelt area of Chenab and Jhelum Rivers
are located in the Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The right bank tributaries of Jhelum River i.e., Kunhar
and Neelum rivers carry major share of the snow melt, primarily, situated in Pakistan or along the Line of
27. 15
Control. Glaciers and snowmelt contribution is 85 percent in the case of Indus,80 percent for Kabul,75
percent for Chenab and slightly over 50 percent for Jhelum River.
It is estimated that the total volume of water stored in the glacial area of Indus river is about 340
MAF, while the volume of water stored in glacial zed area of Kabul, Chenab and Jhelum Rivers is 300
MAF. The yearly contribution of flow at rim stations as a result of melting of snow and ice is over 110
MAF. The formation and melting of snow and ice in the glacial area, is in a state of equilibrium. It must
not be disturbed to get additional water benefits during drought conditions by resorting, to otherwise,
highly tempting artificial techniques. If equilibrium is upset, the sustainability will be destroyed leading to
disastrous consequences. Accordingly, no additional development potential is considered available from
this valuable resource.
Groundwater: The readily available groundwater resources of Pakistan have played an increasingly
important role in meeting the country’s food and fiber requirements. Groundwater now supplies around
45 percent of crop water requirements in the country. The reservoirs underlying the Indus Plains are an
inherent offshoot of the canal system, and are of immeasurable value in poverty alleviation in Pakistan.
Ground water use permits farmers to exercise a greater control over the available water and results in
timely application of water for crops. This has transformed the concept of low and uncertain crop yields
to more secure and predictable form of crop production. Even away from the Indus Plains in the highland
areas of Balochistan and North West Frontier Province, ground water has been crucial in supporting the
agricultural sector. It is therefore, imperative that long-term sustainability of groundwater, as a resource,
is maintained to ensure the growing food requirements of the country.
From the point of view of availability of groundwater, the country can be divided into two major
areas, the predominantly canal irrigated Indus Plain primarily located in Punjab and Sindh, and the areas
of the KP and Balochistan with a limited groundwater development potential in a few localized areas.
During the last few years or so, spectacular increase in the number of private tube wells has
changed the underground paradigm entirely. In several groundwater areas, there has been a complete
Volta face. Where some years ago high groundwater was a major threat, water levels have now declined
due to private tube wells development. However, the pace at which the groundwater exploitation has
unfolded has added complexity of its management. The number of users is over 2.5 million farmers, who
extract groundwater through their own tube wells or buy water from their neighbours. Their behavioral
patterns are highly variable and they understand little about any adverse interaction, which is likely to
result due to unsystematic and erratic nature of groundwater pumping. Their major interest is to pump
ever more water to meet the rising crop water requirements. In many regions, the impact on the
groundwater resources is alarming; levels are declining rapidly to infeasible pumping depths, and there
is intrusion of saline water in the fresh groundwater areas through lateral or upward movement.
Existing number of private tube wells in Pakistan is over 922,146 and annual groundwater
extraction through private tube wells under the normal hydro-climatic conditions is of the order of 42 MAF.
The province wise sustainable development potential is:
(MAF)
Province Sustainable potential
Punjab 36
Sindh 8*
KP 2
Balochistan 2
* Potential can be further increased to about 14 MAF (65 per cent of annual recharge) by using latest
state-of-the –art-techniques.
28. 16
Development potential and requirements: Remaining development potential of water resources is
approaching a stage where complex factors involved, require fine-tuning to permit sustainability. Surface-
water resources have some potential for development that are not fully exploited, while groundwater
sources require system controls and a regulatory body to permit private operations to enhance
production. Pakistan is facing increasing water needs, by growing population, increased urbanization,
higher standards of living and by an agricultural policy which has emphasized on expanded production
for future.
The development potential of the three water resources of Pakistan is summarized as:
(MAF)
Resource Development Potential
River flows 22
Rainfall harvesting (hill torrents) 12
Ground water:
a) 6
b) 12*
* Under ultimate conditions, with the latest state-of-the-art techniques.
It has been estimated that the population of Pakistan will be around 221 million by the year-2025.
In order to meet water requirements across various sector by the year 2025 i.e., agriculture, water
supply/sanitation, industry etc., the country would need additional water to the tune of 20 MAF at the farm
gate for agriculture and 8 MAF for other sectors. Agriculture requirements are based on the assumption
of 50 percent increase in the yields of crops with non-water uses, like better seeds, fertilizers pesticides
and better agronomic practices for which potential of 300 percent exists in Pakistan, (Dawn Economic &
Business Review, July 12-18, 2004 by Sabir Ali Bhatti)
Agricultural development in Pakistan is affected by two main constraints, suitable soil and water,
particularly the latter one. There are two major sources of water supply in the country i.e. surface water
and ground water. The main source of surface water is Indus Basin. The share of surface water is higher
than the ground water towards the total availability of water. Moreover, the surface water availability
during Kharif Season is higher than Rabi.
Year wise breakdown Table A-24 indicates that about 50.9% in kharif and 25.4% in Rabi
requirement for 2018-19 of water availability at form gate met with surface water while remaining
requirements are met with ground water by means of public and private tube wells. The total availability
of water is 127.40 MAF during the year 2018-19 wherein the overall ground water is reported as 77.8
MAF was available at form gate during 2018-19. It has been observed in 2009-10 that the overall surface
water was 133.7o MAF available during the year 2009-10 and out of which 50.21 MAF was overall ground
water.
A-VI.i Tube wells
Tube wells are the source of ground water supply in the country and 1357036 tube well were
reported in 2017-18 (P). There were about 707 thousand tube wells in the country in 2001-02, which
increased to 1357 thousand in 2017-18 (p), at an average annual growth rate of about 3.9 percent. As
for share by province, Punjab accounts 78.6 percent of the total tube wells installed in the country during
2017-18, followed by Balouchistan (3.1 percent), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (1.3 percent), Sindh (17 percent)
and Punjab (78.6 percnet). (Table A-23).
29. 17
A-VII Livestock
A-VII.i Livestock Population
Livestock over the year has emerged as the largest sub-sector in agrciculture. It is a source of
foreign exchange earnings and contributes about 3.1 percent in total exports. More than 8 million rural
families are engaged in livestock production and driving more than 35-40 percent of their income from
this sector (Pakistan Economic Survey, 2019-20).
Analysis of data on livestock population for the period 2012-13 to 2018-19 indicates increase in
various categories of animals. The number of buffalos which were 33.5 million in 2012-13 increased to
40.0 million in 2018-19. The population of goats and sheep was higher as compared to other animals.
The population of goats increased from 64858 in 2012-13 to 76143 in 2018-19 and population of sheep
increased from 28755 in 2012-13 to 30141 in 2018-19(Table A-29).
A-VII.ii Livestock Products
The major livestock products are beef butter, mutton, poultry meat, milk and eggs. Beef
production increase from 1830 thousand tonnes in 2012-13 to 2227 thousand tones in 2018-19. The
mutton production registered increase from 643 thousand tones in 2012-13 to 732 thousand tones in
2018-19.
The milk is the major food item in Pakistan widely used for preparation of tea, sweets, butter and
yogurt as well as for drinking purposes. The production of milk available for human consumption was
decreased from 50.0 million tons in 2012-13 to 48.0 million tons in 2018-19 (Table A-30).
Poultry meat is also in high demand due to higher prices of beef and mutton since last few years.
The poultry farming has increased considerably during the early 1991-92. The production for poultry meat
increased from 907 thousand tones in 2012-13 to 1518 thousand tones in 2018-19 during last 7 years.
Eggs production was increased from 13813 million in 2012-13 to 19052 million in 2018-19
(Table A-30).
A-VIII Forestry
Pakistan is forest deficient country, mainly due to arid and semi-arid climate in large parts of the
country. The Country is maintaining 4.51 million hectares to 5.01 percent area under forest cover, out of
which 3.44 million hectres forests exist on state-owned lands and remaining on communal and private
lands. Though the forestry having meager share of 2.1 percent in agriculture, it provides foundations of
life on earth through ecological function, regulates the climate and water resources and serves as habitat
for plants and animals.
To meet the domestic needs and to improve the forest cover, the federal government has
launched Ten Billion Tree Sunami Programme by replicating the Billion Tree Afforestation Project (BTAP)
implemented by Government of Khyber Pahktunkhwa. The project aims at, inter alia, combating the
effects of global warming. This is an umbrella project covering all the provinces including AJK and GB
with provincial budgetary share. All segments of society such as students, youth and farmers are strongly
involved in the afforestation activities (Pakistan Economic Survey 2019-20).
30. 18
A-IX Transportation
Smoke that comes out of industrial units, houses, motor cars and other vehicular traffic contains
gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxides of Sulphur, nitrogen and carbon particles etc. All
such compound and particles are injurious to health. The gases used as coolant in air conditioners,
refrigerators and similar devices cause extremely harmful changes in the upper atmosphere, where they
are believe to be decreasing the thickness of the Ozone layer, which normally protects human and other
living organisms from the injurious sunrays. If this process goes on unchecked, it will prove disastrous for
environment and living organisms.
Transportation plays vital role in the development of the country, Railway tracks, roads and high
ways are essential for economic development. However, the transport in cities and major urban Centre
is threat to the environment. The air pollution due to transport in large cities like Karachi, Lahore,
Faisalabad, Peshawar, Quetta and Rawalpindi has considerably increased during the recent years. The
vehicular emission of hydrocarbons, baldheads, carbon monoxide, Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides
are dangerous pollutants to human health, causing bronchitis, irritation, asthma attacks and irritate the
eyes, arise primarily through vehicles emission in the urban areas (PNCS-94).
Presently, Pakistan ranks at 22nd position worldwide for 263,775 Km length of its road network
(13,000 km of National Highways and Motorways, 93,000 km of provincial highways and rest are District
and Rural Roads). The country is likely to improve its ranking significantly with the construction of new
economic connectivity projects, especially under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the
Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Programme and continuous government
programme (Pakistan Economic Survey 2019-20).
The road length which was about 252 thousand km in 2002-03 increased to 271 thousand km in
2018-19. The average annual growth in length during 2002-03 to 2018-19 is 0.5 percent whereas the
length of high type roads was 144652 km in 2000-01 and it increased to 201100 km in 2018-19 (Pakistan
Economic Survey 2019-20).
Total registered vehicles during 1996 were 3.838 million and 29.052 million reported in 2019(P).
There were about 114 thousand registered buses in 1996 and the number of buses increased to about
254 thousand in 2019. There were only 54 thousand taxis in the country in 1996 increased to 171
thousand in 2019. Despite considerable increase in the number of buses, taxis, motor rickshaws and
wagons, the urban population is still facing the transport problem. The high population growth along with
rapid urbanization has caused serious traffic problems in major cities. The analysis of transport data
indicates increasing trends in almost all sorts of vehicles to the rising detriment of the environment
(Pakistan Economic Survey 2019-20).

Environmental Impacts of Socio-Economic Activities and Natural Events
Rapid population growth impacts directly all facets of environment, whether natural or man made.
Some major problems include food shortages, sub-division of landholding to the level of uneconomical
size, deforestation, reduction in agricultural land due to expansion of cities, pressure on housing units
unaffordable increase in energy consumption, shortages of natural resources for the development of
industrial sector and degradation of environment.
This section briefly dwells on certain aspects of economic activities, which bear nexus with
population growth and, by the same token, environment. Thus, this section includes tabulations on area
under, as well as production of, agricultural crops, import/export of, agricultural commodities, milk and
milk products, fertilizers, wood and wood products, petroleum product and coal. In order to allude towards
deforestation, revenue earned by forest department is also tabulated. Further, as an explicit
consequences of population pressure, some tables on waste generation, chemical analysis of river
waters, water logging and salinity and different types of pollutants on coast of Pakistan are included.
Similarly, a record of nature’s unsavoury expressions i.e. natural disasters, which bear uncanny
relationship with human actions, is given at the end.

Responses to Environmental Impacts
This Section presents a sort of empirical information regarding climate in Pakistan i.e. temperature,
rainfall, clouds, wind pressure and related phenomena. It may be kept in view that secular climatic changes
unfurl in long intervals of time. So the studies to size up the normal’s of say, temperature, air pressure, rainfall
and other climatic variables are recorded. The metrological office utilizes these data to issue daily weather
forecast. This publication also contains the certain tables on the quality of groundwater in some selected
Centres in the four provinces of Pakistan and Gilgit Baltastan (GB). This chapter also cover the information
in respect of Forest Area, Share of Forestry in value added of Agriculture Sector.
The following paragraphs provide a generalized scenario regarding climate, temperature, rainfall and
air pressure.
C-I Climate
The following factors characterize the climate of Pakistan:-
1. The major area of the country is dominated by dry climate while small areas in south experience
tropical climate.
2. The subtropical location of Pakistan extends approximately from 23 1/20 N to 370 N latitudes. This
tends to keep the temperature high, particularly in summer.
3. The oceanic influence of the Arabian Sea keeps down the temperature contrast between summer
and winter at the coasts.
4. The continental effect emphasis the differences in temperature between summer and winter in the
interior of the country.
5. The higher altitudes in the west and north keep down the temperature throughout the year. In the
extreme north because of great heights, the mountain tops record freezing temperature all the year
round. The hills and mountains also attract more rain than the plains do.
6. The monsoon winds which come in July and continue to blow upto September bring rainfall. Pakistan
receives only the tail-end of the monsoons, therefore the monsoon season is neither as prolonged
nor as wet as that in India generally.
183. 171
7. The Western Depressions originating from the Mediterranean region and entering Pakistan from the
west bring rainfall alongwith cyclones in winter. These cyclones make a long land journey before
coming to Pakistan and are thus robbed of most of their moisture by the time they reach Pakistan.
8. Thunderstorms cause some amount of rainfall particularly in the north.
9. A temperature inversion layer at a low elevation of approximately 1,500 meters (5,000 feet) in the
southern part of Pakistan during the summer season does not allow the moisture-laden air to rise
and condensation to take place. (Khan, 1991).
C-II Temperature
Pakistan has all the four seasons and the temperature varies from one season to another as well as
from region to region. The temperature variation can be arranged in the following categories:
Hot: 320 C or more (900 F or more)
Warm: 210 C to 320 C (70 0 F to 890 F)
Mild: 100 C to 210 C (50 0 F to 690 F)
Cold: 00 C to 100 C (320 F to 490 F)
Cold below: 00 C ( 320 F)
The country can be divided into the following temperature zones:-
1. Hot summer and mild winter: The temperature varies between 320 C to 440 or more in
summer while 100 C to 210 C in winter.
2. Warmer summer and mild winter: Summer temperature lies between 210 C and 32 0 C,
and winter’s between 100 C and 210 C.
184. 172
3. Warm summer and cool winter: Summer between 210 C and 32 0 C and coolest month
temperature between 00 C and 100 C.
4. Mild summer and cool/cold winter: Summer temperature between 100 C and 21 0 C and
the coolest month (January) temperature less than 00 C in some areas and between 00 C
and 100 C in other areas.
Data on temperature (minimum & maximum) and rainfall are recorded at selected station daily by
the metrological observators. The metrological observers also record other meterological elements like air
pressure, temperature, hummidity etc. Marginal variations of temperature can be review in the country
from one year to another as depicted by Table C-02.
C-III Rain Fall
The major part of Pakistan experiences dry climate. Humid conditions prevail in a small area in the
north. The whole of Sindh, most part of Balochistan and major part of Punjab, south of Sahiwal and the
central part of northern areas receive less than 250 mm/10 inches of rainfall in a year. Three large areas i.e.
i) Northern Sindh and Southern Punjab ii) North Western Balochistan and iii) the central part of the Northern
areas have to content with an annual rainfall of less than 125 mm. To the North of Sahiwal rain fall steadily
increases and aridity starts to diminish. However, the true humid condition appear after rain fall increase to
750 mm/30 inches on the plains and 625 mm/25 inches on the highlands.
There are two sources of rainfall in Pakistan, the Monsoons and the Western Depressions. The
monsoons rainfall takes place from July to September. The Western Depressions bring rainfall primarily from
December to March. In the intervening periods October-November and April-June a small quantity of rainfall
comes form thunderstorms (Kureshi, 1991).
C-IV Pressure and Winds
In summer, the land becomes heated and a low-pressure area is created in southwestern Pakistan.
In the month of July, atmospheric pressure is lowest in the vicinity of Multan and rises north-ward and
southward. This low-pressure area attracts winds from the Indian Ocean. Some colonic storms migrate to
this low area all the way across northern Indian Ocean from the Bay of Bengal, although their moisture
content decreases as they move westward, it is these storms, which bring most of Pakistan's rainfall. Winds
sucked in from the Arabian Sea bring less moisture because these air streams have originated over Arabia,
and have lower moisture content. Nevertheless, they do produce some rain in the western mountains.
185. 173
In winter, the temperatures over the land are relatively low and high pressures areas are established
particularly in the month of December and January. The pressure generally decreases from North to South.
Thus, while the prevailing direction of the winter monsoons over the sub-continent as a whole is north-east
to south-west, over Pakistan it is almost from north to south. Since these winds blow from the land towards

review/analyses the air pressure and vapour pressure data in Table C-04 & Table-C-05.

which is the lowest air pressure among 15 selected Centres (Table C-04).
- A highest air pressure (1008.2 mbs) at mean station level was recorded in 2019 at Chhor,
which is the highest air pressure among 15 selected Centres (Table C-04).
- A lowest vapour pressure (5.6 mbs) was recorded in 2000 at Quetta, which is the lowest
vapour pressure among 15 selected Centres (Table C-05).

SECTION - D
Inventories, Stocks and Background Conditions
This section presents historical background and development in education and health sectors. In
addition to the literacy levels, educational infrastructure by type, enrollment at various stages, availability of
teachers and student - teacher ratios are worked out. It also highlights availability of health facilities to the
population in terms of doctors, nurses, midwives, hospitals, dispensaries, hospitals beds, family planning
statistics, immunization coverage, etc. Moreover, the tabular part also includes data on electricity,
natural/associated gas reserves, and coal reserves.
D-I Education
Education is the major cause and consequence of economic and social development and considered
as the investment in human capital, which is leading factor for building the nation. Government of Pakistan
has been making strenuous efforts to improve the literacy rate and to provide education to all school-going
children at all levels.
D-I.i Literacy
Literacy is one of the basic driver to catalyze change in socio-economic milieu for better. According
to PSLM Survey, literacy rate improved from 57% in 2008-09 to 60% in 2018-19. The comparative literacy
rates by sex and area, given in the parenthesis, also scale up, more in the case of females (45%, 49%) than
males (69%, 71%) and rural (48%, 51%) than urban 74% with no change. However, the male - female and
rural-urban disparities remain quite positive but seem to be converging down the time lane though with sub-
optimal speed, more in urban than rural areas. The relevant data has presented in the table (Figure D-1) D-
01.

D-I.ii Enrollment
a. Primary Schools
At the time of independence, the primary level enrollment (class I-V) was 0.770 million which
increased to 37.407 million in 2018-19 (Table D-02). It indicates more than 49 times increase in 72 years. In
the linear perspective, the annual average growth rate of primary level enrollment (5.5 percent) is almost
double of the population growth rate during this period. Nevertheless, expanse of the base and consequential
time series fall short of exhaustive outreach of primary education. This notwithstanding, population per school
(Table below, D-I) of the 5-9 year aged, has been decreasing down the time lane from 555 in 1950-51 to 135
in 2018-19.

b. Middle Schools
The middle level enrollment ( class VI-VIII) registered 35 fold rise, from 221 thousand in 1947-48 to
7641 in 2018-19 (Table D-02). The average annual growth rate (5 percent) is slightly lower as compared to
that in primary schools enrollment.
As for sex-wise enrollment (Fig D-3) male enrollment during the period increased at an annual growth
rate of 4.3 percent vis a vis 7.3 percent of females. Thus, male-female disparity has been receding owing,
probably to attitudinal shift.

Enrollment in high school or secondary level school (IXth and Xth classes) or equivalent vocational
classes indicates increase at an average annual growth rate of 6 percent during 1947-48 to 2018-19. About
62 thousand students were enrolled in high school level classes in 1947-48 compared to 4339 thousand
during the year 2018-19 (Table D-02). As for male - female gap (Fig D-4) it has been closing as female
enrollment at High School level increased from 14.8 percent of the male enrollments in 1947-48 to 75.6% in
2018-19.

d. Arts and Science Colleges
The arts and science colleges include enrollment of class XI and XII (Intermediate) and B.A/B.Sc.
students. The enrollment in arts and science colleges registered 47 fold increase in 65 years from 43
thousand in 1954-55 to 2032 thousand in 2018-19 (Table D-02). This level of trending up augurs well for
cultivating progressive socio-cultural attitudes.
Auspiciously, gender gap has been shrinking during the period as females enrollment rose 160 fold,
from 16% of males enrollment in 1954-55 to 89 % of the same in 2018-19.

e. Professional Colleges
The professional colleges focus on the education of Agriculture, Medical, Engineering, Law,
Commerce, Tibb and Homeopathy. The enrollment in the professional colleges increased from 4.4 thousand
at the time of independence to 294.0 thousand in 2018-19 at an average annual growth rate of 6.0 percent
during the period. Gender gap has been receding as female enrollment witnessed 290-fold increase vis a vis
50 fold of males and fared at 42% of males enrollment in 2018-19 in comparison with 7% at the time of
independence (Table D-02).
f. Universities
There were 644 students enrolled in 2 Universities existed in the country at the time of independence.
This includes degree and post graduate level enrollments in various subjects. The enrollments in 2018-19 is
estimated at about 996.3 thousand in 115 universities of the country (Table D-02). This shows an increase
at an annual growth rate of 10.8 percent, the highest among all level of education during the period.
Seemingly, university education is more facilitated /subsidized as compared to primary/secondary education.
Since university graduate tend to emigrate due to limited opening in the country, the bias in favour of
university education is likely to work at the cross purpose of increasing the literacy rate.
D-I.iii Educational Infrastructure
a. Primary Level Schools
At the time of independence (1947-48) there were 8,413 primary schools in the country. Their number
increased to 175293 during 2018-19. Thus primary schools increased with lower average annual growth rate
of 4.3 percent as against 5.5 percent of enrollment therein during the same period. Nevertheless, population
per primary school declined from 555 in 1950-51 to 135 population in 2018-19(Table D-I).
The number of primary schools for females (1549) at the time of independence fared at one-fourth
of the number of boys primary school (6864). As of 2018-19, the girls primary school have increased 50 fold
(76746) vis a vis 14 times (98547) increase in the number of boys primary schools. The former now number
more than one-half of the latter’s (Figure: D-5).
221. 209
Figure: D-5: Number of Primary Schools by Sex
There were about 18 thousand primary school teachers available for 8,413 primary schools in 1947-
48 i.e. two teachers per school and-one teacher for 43 students. The number of teachers increased to 545.2
thousand in 2018-19. Thus ratio of teachers per school has slightly increased to 3 teachers per school
though number of students per teacher also increased from 43 in 1947-48 to 69 in 2018-19.
Availability of male primary school teachers increase 17 fold as against 127 fold observed in case of
female teachers during 72 years between 1947-48 and 2018-19. The number of teachers per primary school
increased from 2.24. to 2.40 in the case of male and also 1.55 to 3.96 in case of female teachers. However,
student- teacher ratio has also increased, more for males (43 to 80) than females (46 to 58) (Table D-02).
b. Middle Schools
The availability of middle schools increased 22 times from 2190 at the time of independence (1947-
48) to 47665 schools in 2018-19 (Table D-02). Concomitantly, enrollment per middle school increased from
101 students in 1947-48 to 160 students in 2018-19. Though, number of teachers per middle school
increased from 5.5 in 1947-48 to 9.8 teachers in 2018-19, students - teacher ratio also increase in during
these years.
Sex wise, the availability of boy middle schools in 1947-48 (2037) fared at 13 times of girls middle
schools 153 increased 9.9 times (23756) in 2018-19 vis a vis 156 time of girls middle school (23909) to situate
the latter with the former almost equivalently.

c. High and Secondary Vocational Institutions
Number of high/secondary schools at the time of independence (454) grew at an average annual
growth rate of 6.1 percent to 32725 in 2018-19. The corresponding high school numbers resolve into 372
vs.18611 for boys and 82 vs 14114 for girls. The latter’s numbers fare at 22 percent and 76 percent of the
former, which betokens receding gender gap.
As for enrollment per school, it decreased from 137 to 133 during the period. The corresponding sex
wise figures are 145 vs 133 for boys and 98 vs 132 for girls, which bespeak declining availability of high
schools for fair sex. However, number of teachers per school in 2018-19 (18) do indicate higher number per
girls high school (25) vis a vis boys high schools (12). This may, interalia, due to lower number of the former
(Table D-02).

d. Arts and Science Colleges
The number of arts and science colleges grew 30 fold from 77 in 1954-55 to 2326 in 2018-19 during
the span of 65 years. The corresponding number resolves into 58 & 1239 for boys and 19 & 1087 for girls.
The latter’s relative profile increased from 33 percent to 88 percent of the former. Enrollment per college
more than doubled from 558 to 874 during the period. The corresponding figures for girls (316,883) and, boys
(638, 866) indicates that former’s size more than quadrupled while the latter’s more than doubled during
the comparative periods (Table D-02).
e. Professional Colleges
Professional colleges were not available at the time of independence. However, there were 24
professional colleges (Agriculture, Medical, Engineering, Law, Tibb, Commerce and Homeopathic) in the
country in 1954-55, which increased 28 fold to 668 in 2018-19. Professional college practice co-education
.This notwithstanding, five girls professional colleges were established in 1964-65 which increased to 62 in
2018-19. (Table D-02). Since professional colleges are infrastructure-heavy establishments, their number
down the time lane increase modestly (Table D-02). As of 2018-19, there are 31 teachers per college and 14
student per teacher. Out of the total teachers (21300), more than one-third (33%) are females (7000).
f. Universities
The number of universities increased 58 fold from two (2) in 1947-48 to 115 in 2018-19. The ratio of
teachers per university increased from 217 for 6 universities available in 1964-65 to 342 for 115 universities
in 2018-19. However, student-teacher ratio also increased from 10 to 25 during the comparative periods. This
indicates rising clientele for universities.
D-II Health
D-II.i Historical Background
Like other socio-economic sectors, the country inherited very inadequate health infrastructure and
manpower at the time of independence. Though a lot of health facilities dot the country’s expanse, the related
indicators have not improved much. Among the reasons the seminal one is that health sector could not claim
a high priority in development plans. This can be judged from the fact that the total expenditure on health &
nutrition during 2018-19 was Rs.421.8 billion (1.1 % of GDP), out of which Rs 58.63 billion were allocated for
development expenditure. However, following sectors has seeks to improve:-
1. Health manpower.
2. Gathering and Using reliable health information.
3. Strategic use of emerging technologies.
4. Health status of the population.
5. Access to essential health services.
6. Measurable reduction in the burden of diseases.
7. Protecting the poor and under privileged population.
224. 212
D-II.ii Health Infrastructure
a. Hospitals
At the time of independence there were 292 hospitals in the country i.e. one hospital was available
for about 111 thousand population. The number of hospital tripled in 72 years to 1282 in 2019 (Table D-08).
The annual average growth rate of hospitals is 2.1 percent, which is below the annual population growth rate
in the country during last 72 years. Thus, increasing population, as well as, pacy urbanization result into more
pressure on the hospitals which are mainly situated in major urban localities. It is estimated that population
per hospital which was 111 thousand per hospital in 1947 raised to 165 thousand per hospital in 2019. (Fig
D-8).
However, population per hospital bed declined from 2,360 in 1947 to 1,579 in 2018-19 to indicate
availability of more beds in the hospitals (Table D-08).
Figure: D-8: Population per Hospital (000)
b. Dispensaries
The dispensaries are normally supervised by an MBBS doctor and supported by a Lady Health
Visitor, dispenser, midwife, aya, chowkidar and sweeper. There were 722 dispensaries in 1947, which
increased to 5743 in 2019. It shows more than 8 times increase in number of dispensaries in 72 years (Table
D-08). The annual average growth rate of dispensaries was higher i.e. 2.9 percent as against 2.1 percent
for hospitals.
c. Maternal and Child Health Centre (MCH)
The Maternal and Child Health Centres (MCH) are established mostly in the rural areas, to provide
services to expectant mothers and new born babies. Centres are supervised by Lady Health Visitors. The
number of MCHs increased 8 times from 91 in 1947-48 to 752 in 2019 with an annual average growth rate
of 2.9 percent during the comparative periods.

d. Beds in Hospitals and Dispensaries
The hospitals and dispensaries have the facilities to admit patients in need of continued medical care
or surgical treatment. There were about 14 thousand beds in the hospitals and dispensaries in 1947 which
increased more than Nine (10) times in last 72 years to 134 thousand in 2019. Similarly, number of hospitals
increased from 827 in 1995 to 1282 in 2019.
Figure: D-9: Number of Registered Doctors and Nurses During 2010 to 2019
D-II.iii Health Manpower
a. Doctors
There were only 48,342 registered doctors in 1989 in the country for about 132 million population i.e.
one doctor for twenty-seven hundred persons. However, as of 2019 there are more than 233 thousand
registered doctors in the public and private sectors in the country, translating into one doctor for 1073 persons
(Table D-07). The number of registered doctors grew with an average annual growth rate of 5.3 percent
during 1989 to 2019.
b. Nurses
The nurses play very important role in the health care services. The number of registered nurses
grew with an average annual growth rate of 6.0 percent from 15861 in 1989 to 112123 in 2019. This translates
impressively in to improved availability of nurses from one per 132.85 million people in 1998 to one per 8375
people. However, the number of nurses is one-half of the number of doctors in 2019(Table D-07) which falls
short of the desirable calculus of health manpower.

c. Dentists
The number of registered dentists registered 13-fold increase with an annual growth rate of 8.9
percent from 1911 in 1989 to 24930 in 2019. This translates into one dentist for about thirty-nine thousand
population in 1998 as against 24 thousand per dentist in 2019 (Table D-07). However, population per dentist
is still very high. The dentists are available mainly in big hospitals and large cities, and as such, rural
population which is almost 57percent of the total population in the country seems short shifted in this regard.

public sector has been operating since 1960. The achievement of family planning programme has been
modest but seem to be attracting more people in matrimonial bond. The last population census indicates
decline in fertility as intercensal growth rate decreased from 3.06 during 1972-81 to 2.4 during 1998-2017.
At present the population welfare programme is operating both in the public and private sectors and
a net-work of service delivery out-lets of Ministries of Population Welfare and Health as well as Social
Marketing of Contraception (Private Sector) is providing family planning services to the desirous clients.

D-IV Extended Programme of Immunization (EPI)
This programme was launched in 1979 on a very comprehensive scale with the prime objective to
reduce morbidity and mortality resulting from six deadly diseases (Polio, Diphtheria, Whooping Cough,
Tetanus, Measles and Tuberculosis) through immunizing children of less than one year of age and Tetanus
immunization to all women of the child-bearing age. The programme extends service delivery from all health
facilities in public and private sectors and by special out reach and mobile approach. Twice in a year, special
campaigns are launched to boost up immunization coverage in the country. The data on immunization is not
easy to collect or interpret as coverage is often reported on the basis of respondent’s recollection than written
records. The service statistics also falls short of adequacy and reliability.
D-V COVID-19
1. The first human case of COVID-19 was reported officially in Wuhan city of China in December, 2019
which spread across the country to worldwide with the high rate. WHO on March 11 declared COVID-19 a
pandemic. Since then, the virus has engulfed the entire world, disrupting the supply chains and paralyzing
the continents. The pandemic is not only inflicting unprecedented damage to human lives but it has also
taken a heavy toll on global economic activity. In particular, various necessary measures to control the spread
has brought much of the global economic activity to a halt. Consequently, countries are now facing multiple
crises, a health crisis, a financial crisis, and a collapse in commodity prices.
2. On one hand, the pandemic has put the whole world in a Lockdown and changed the dynamics of
ongoing and future economic activities, while on the other, the pandemic wiped out any mentionable
economic performance of any economy. “The Lockdown”, is shaping up into the worst crises since The Great
Depression of 1930s.
3. Global value chains have been disrupted stock and commodity prices are falling around the world.
Long term bond yields are heading south in fear of global recession. Airlines and tourism business are facing
massive losses. Most of these businesses are SMEs, there will be loss of employment and small business
229. 217
owners will faced reduced liquidity. Many businesses face problem in managing the cash flow. In this
scenario, key focus areas of the government are health, social safety industry and trade etc. The government
is constantly monitoring the COVID-19 situation in the country and taking all necessary steps to control the
adverse effect on economy. The World Economic Outlook (April, 2020) projects global growth to contact
sharply by 3 percent in 2020 and the loss to global GDP over 2020 and 2021 could be around 9 trillion dollars
due to the pandemic crisis. This is the first time in hundred years that the world in facing a rapidly spreading
the fatal virus. For which no authentic prevention/treatment to overcome the pandemic. No country is safe
from the pandemic until a specific vaccine is available against the virus.
4. Pakistan also follow rigorous measure like designed special hospitals, laboratories for testing,
quarantine facilities, awareness campaign and smart lock down to control the spread of virus in the affected
areas. The government has constituted a high-level National Coordination Committee (NCC) headed by the
Prime Minister that evaluates the evolving situation on day to day basis to effectively curb the spread of the
virus in the country. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and NHSRC have leading roles
in combating the spread of a pandemic. A Command and Control Centre has also been established to ensure
effective coordination among the federal and provincial governments to control COVID-19.
5. The disease outbreak information management system has been strengthened, and a
comprehensive hospital information management system has been ensured as the basis for the early
detection of outbreaks. Disease surveillance & Response Units (DSRU) has also been strengthened at the
district level and collaborated with Emergency Operations Centres (EOC) at the provincial level. Hospitals
and laboratories in the major cities have been designated to collect the sample from suspected cases on bio-
safety and bio-security standards. Quarantine facilities have been established all over the country to prevent
the spread of the pandemic.
6. The pandemic was confirmed to have reached Pakistan on 26th February, 2020, on the same day
another case confirmed by the Pakistan Federal Ministry of Health in Islamabad and within fifteen days the
total confirmed cases of COVID-19 reached to twenty. When the first patient in Karachi tested positive while
returning from Iran. Since then, the pandemic has spread through foreign and domestic transfusion. However,
due to timely measures taken by the government in collaboration with provinces, the outbreak has so far
been prevented from getting worse. Till August 18, 2020, so fare 290,958 confirmed cases with 272,804
recoveries and 6,209 deaths recorded in the country. Most of the confirmed cases are reported in the Sindh
province i.e 127,060 as compare to other provinces. Punjab comes after the Sindh where the total cases are
reported as 95800 till 18th August 2020 and least cases are reported in Azad Jammu & Kashmir. The
government is employing available public, community, and private sector capacity to rapidly scale up the
health system to prevent the spread of COVID-19

CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS
Environment
The totality of all the external conditions affecting the life, development and survival of an
organism is called Environment.
Environment Statistics
Statistics that describe the state and trends of the environment, covering the media of the natural
environment (air/climate, water, land/soil), the biota within the media, and human settlements is termed
as Environment Statistics. This statistics is integrative in nature, measuring human activities and natural
events that affect the environment, the impacts of these activities and events, social responses to
environmental impacts, and the quality and availability of natural assets. Broad definitions include
environmental indicators, indices and accounting.
Environmental Condition
It is the modification of the environment of one or more organisms by their activities, including
reaction and co-action (liberation of oxygen, for example by water plants in an aquarium).
Environmental Degradation
The deterioration in environmental quality from ambient concentrations of pollutants and other
activities and processes such as improper land use and natural disasters is known as Environmental
degradation.
Environmental Effects
These are the results of environmental impacts on human health and welfare. The term is also
used synonymously with environmental impact.
Environmental Functions
Environmental services, including spatial functions, waste disposal, natural resource supply and life
support are called Environment Functions.
Environmental Impacts
Direct effect of socio-economic activities and natural events on the components of the environment are called Environmental
Impacts.
Environmental Protection
Any activity to maintain or restore the quality of environmental media through preventing the
emission of pollutants or reducing the presence of polluting substances in environmental media is called
Environmental Protection. It may consist of: (a) changes in characteristics of goods and services, (b)
changes in consumption patterns, (c) changes in production techniques, (d) treatment or disposal of
residuals in separate environmental protection facilities, (e) recycling and (f) prevention of degradation of
the landscape and ecosystems.
Agricultural Land
Agriculture land is the land, which include arable land, land under permanent crops and land
under permanent meadows and pastures.
Air Pollutants
Substances in air that could, at high enough concentrations, harm human beings, animals,
vegetation or material. Air pollutants may thus include forms of matter of almost any natural or artificial
269. 257
composition capable of being airborne. They may consist of solid particles, liquid droplets or gases, or
combinations of these forms.
Air Pollution
The presence of contaminant or pollutant substances in the air that do not disperse properly and
that interfere with human health or welfare or produce other harmful environmental effects is called air
pollution.
Alkalinity
The alkalinity is the capacity of aqueous media to react with hydroxyl ions. Alkalinity is the
factor representing the acid-neutralizing capacity of an aqueous system.
Arid Zone
Arid Zone is defined as the area with less than 250 millimetre (mm) of yearly rainfall. The term
may include a reference to bioclimatic factors.
Atmosphere
The mass of air surrounding the earth, composed largely of oxygen and nitrogen is called
atmosphere.
Bacteria
The single-celled micro-organisms is called bacteria. Some bacteria are useful in pollution
control because they break down the organic matter in water and land. Other bacteria may cause
disease.
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
The dissolved oxygen required by organisms for the aerobic decomposition of organic matter
present in water is termed as Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD).
Biodiversity
The range of genetic differences, species differences and ecosystem differences in a given
area is called biodiversity.
Biogas
The mixture of methane and carbon dioxide is called biogas. The ratio of methane and carbon
dioxide in the mixture is 7:3. This mixture is produced by the treatment of animal dung, industrial wastes
and crop residues. It is used as an alternative source of energy.
Biomass
Biomass is defined as the total living weight (generally in dry weight) of all organisms in a
particular area or habitat. It is sometimes expressed as weight per unit area of land or per unit volume
of water.
Brackish Water
The water which contains salts at a concentration significantly lower than that of sea water is
known as brackish water. The concentration of total dissolved salts is usually in the range of 1,000-10,000
milligrams per liter (mg/l).
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
It is colour less, odorless and non-poisonous gas that results from fossil fuel combustion and is
normally a part of ambient air. It is also produce in the respiration of living organisms (plants and
animals) and considered to be the main greenhouse gas, contributing to climate change.
270. 258
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
It is colourless, odorless and poisonous gas produced by incomplete fossil fuel combustion.
Carbon monoxide combines with the haemoglobin of human beings, reducing its oxygen carrying
capacity, with effects harmful to human beings.
Catchment Area
The area from which rainwater drains into river systems, lakes and seas is known as
Catchment Area.
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
The index of water pollution measuring the mass concentration of oxygen consumed by the
chemical breakdown of organic and inorganic matter is called Chemical Oxygen Demand.
Chloro-fluorocarbons (CFCs)
Chloro-fluorocarbons are the inert, non-toxic and easily liquefied chemicals used in refrigerator,
air-conditioning, packaging and insulation, or as solvents and aerosol propellants. Because CFCs are not
destroyed in the lower atmosphere, they drift into the upper atmosphere where their chlorine components
destroy ozone. These are also among the greenhouse gases that may affect climate change.
Chromium
Chromium is heavy metal used in the manufacture of alloys and electroplating. It is a multivalent
element that in hexavalent form can be toxic in drinking water ifconcentration exceeds 50 milligrams per
liter.
Climate
Climate is the condition of the atmosphere at a particular location (microclimate) or region over
a long period of time. It is the long-term summation of atmospheric elements - such as solar radiation,
temperature, humidity, precipitation type (frequency and amount), atmospheric pressure and wind (speed
and direction)- and their variations.
Coliform Organism
Coliform are the micro-organism which found in the intestinal tract of human being and animals.
Its presence in water indicates faecal pollution and potentially dangerous bacterial contamination.
Containment
Containment are the retention of hazardous material so as to ensure that it is effectively
prevented from dispersing into the environment, or released only at an acceptable level. Containment
may occur in specially built containment spaces.
Decibel (dB)
Decibel is the unit of sound measurement on a logarithmic scale, with sound approximately
doubling in loudness for every increase of 10 decibels.
Desertification
The land degradation in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas resulting from various factors,
including climatic variations (drought) and human activities (over exploitation of dry lands) is called
desertification.
Disposal of Waste
The waste elimination techniques comprising landfills, containment, underground disposal,
dumping at sea and all other disposal methods is called disposal of waste.
271. 259
Dissolved Oxygen (DO)
The amount of gaseous oxygen (O2) actually present in water expressed in terms either of its
presence in the volume of water (milligrams of O2 per littre) or of its share in saturated water (percentage)
is called dissolved oxygen.
Dissolved Solids
Disintegrated organic and inorganic material contained in water. Excessive amounts make water
unsuitable for drinking or for use in industrial processes are called dissolved solids.
Drinking Water Standards
The standards determining the quality of drinking water in the context of prevailing environmental,
social, economic and cultural conditions, with reference to the presence of suspended matter, excess
salts, unpleasant take and all harmful microbes is called drinking water standards. Meeting of those
standards does not necessarily imply purity.
Earthquake
Earthquake is a sudden shaking or trembling of the earth caused by faulting or volcanic activity.
Effluent
The liquid waste product (whether treated or untreated) discharged from and industrial process
or human activity that is discharged into the environment is called effluent.
Emission
Emission is defined as the discharge of pollutants into the atmosphere from stationary sources
such as smokestacks, other vents, surface areas of commercial or industrial facilities and mobile sources,
for example, motor vehicles, locomotives and aircraft.
Fresh Water
Naturally occurring water having a low concentration of salts is called fresh water. It is generally
accepted as suitable for abstraction and treatment to produce potable water.
Flora
Flora consists of all plants life i.e it includes all type of plants species, including ferns, lycopods
and masses. It is an important component of the environment and comprises a large variety of life form
and is an integral part of various ecosystem, for example agriculture, including major & minor crops,
forestry, trees areas, standing wood volume etc.
Fauna
Fauna consists of all animal life i.e it includes all species of animals, birds, mammals, reptiles,
fish, insects and amphibians.
Greenhouse Effect
Greenhouse effect is defined as the effect caused by warming of the earth's atmosphere due to
build-up of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse or trace gases that act like a pane of glass in a
greenhouse, allowing sunlight to pass through and heat the earth but preventing a counterbalancing loss
of heat radiation.
Ground-level Ozone
Amount of ozone present as a secondary pollutant in the lower atmosphere, where its formation
can be enhanced by other pollutants. It is highly toxic at levels above 0.1 parts per million (p.p.m).
Ground Water
272. 260
Freshwater beneath the earth's surface (usually in aquifers) supplying wells and springs.
Because groundwater is a major source of drinking water, there is a growing concern over leaching of
agricultural and industrial pollutants or substances from underground storage tanks.
Habitat
Habitat is place where an organism or population (human, animal, plant, micro-organism) lives.
Hazardous Air Pollutants
Air pollutants that may reasonably be expected to cause or contribute to irreversible illness or
death are called Hazardous Air Pollutants. They include asbestos, beryllium, mercury, benzene, coke
oven emissions, radio nuclides and vinyl chloride.
Human Settlements
Integrative concept that comprises (a) physical components of shelter and infrastructure and (b)
services to which the physical elements provide support, that is to say, community services such as
education, health, culture, welfare, recreation and nutrition.
Industrial Waste
Liquid, solid and gaseous wastes originating from the manufacture of specific products is called
industrial waste.
Irrigation
The irrigation is a process of artificial application of water to land to assist in the growing of crops
and pastures. It is carried out by spraying water under pressure (spry irrigation) or by pumping water onto
the land (flood irrigation).
Landfill
These are the final placement of waste in or on the land in a controlled or uncontrolled way
according to different sanitary, environmental protection and other safety requirements.
Land Reclamation
Land Reclamation is a process of gain of land from the sea, or wetlands, or other water bodies, and restoration of productivity
or use to lands that have been degraded by human activities or impaired by natural phenomena.
Marine Pollution
Direct or indirect introduction by humans of substances or energy into the marine environment
(including estuaries), resulting in harm to living resources, hazards to human health, hindrances to marine
activities including fishing, impairment of the quality of sea water and reduction of amenities is called
marine pollution.
Municipal Waste
Wastes produced by residential, commercial and public services sectors that are collected by
local authorities for treatment and/or disposal in a central location is called municipal waste.
New and Renewable Energy Source
These are the energy sources including solar energy, geothermal energy, wind power,
hydropower, ocean energy (thermal gradient, wave power and tidal power), biomass, draught animal
power, fuel wood, peat, oil shale and tar sands.
Night-soil
These are the contents of cesspools and so forth removed at night, especially for use as manure.
273. 261
Nitrate
Nitrogen-containing compounds are called nitrates. These nitrates can exist in the atmosphere
or as a dissolved gas in water.
Noise Pollution
Sound at excessive levels that may be detrimental to human health is called noise pollution.
ppm./ppb./ppt.
parts per million/ parts per billion/parts per trillion, measures of the concentrations of pollutants
in air, water, soil, human tissue, food or other products.
Ozone (O3)
Ozone is pungent, colourless, toxic gas which contains three atoms of oxygen in each molecule.
It occurs naturally at a concentration of about 0.01 parts per million (p.p.m) of air. Levels of 0.1 p.p.m.
are considered to be toxic. In the atmosphere, ozone provides a protective layer shielding the earth from
the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation on human beings and other biota. In the atmosphere, it is a
major component of photo-chemical smog, which seriously affects the human respiratory system.
Ozone Depletion
The process of destruction of ozone in the stratosphere, where it shields the earth from harmful
ultraviolet radiation is called Ozone depletion. Its destruction is caused by chemical reactions in which
oxides of hydrogen, nitrogen, chlorine and bromine act as catalysts.
