- 125. Introduction Issues Solutions Wrap-up Analysis Recommendations Conclusion Bibliography and Acknowledgements The supply of water is constant on our planet. But for freshwater, there is evidence of decreasing as well as increasing demand, as well as evidence for decreasing and increasing supplies. However, in general, demand is increasing and supply is decreasing. Coupled with this is the variability introduced by climate change. The desire to control water has intensified amid this uncertainty and is manifested in water related conflicts around the globe. Pakistan must make efforts to secure its freshwater supplies from rivers, groundwater, sea-water and rain water. To ensure sustainability in these supplies, Pakistan must look after its environment.
