“…The pandemic diseases have been some of the most distressing happenings in the history of mankind. The Black Death sponged about onethird of the total European population and the Spanish Flu in 1918 affected more human beings than the entire victims of the 1st World War (Davis et al, 2018;Decaro and Lorusso, 2020;Djalante et al, 2020;Gould, 2009;Hussain et al, 2020;Kandel et al, 2020;Keilman, 2019;Liu et al, 2020d;Malik et al, 2020;Molineri et al, 2017;Salam et al, 2020). The epidemic outbreak of Swine Flu, Zika, and Ebola Virus had caused worldwide panic, while the outbreak of novel coronavirus (nCoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) caused severe loss of human life and economic value (Altamimi and Ahmed, 2019;Bhowmick et al, 2020;Chan et al, 2011;Decaro and Lorusso, 2020;Hoogeveen, 2020;Lin et al, 2018;Liu et al, 2020d;Paz and Semenza, 2016;Zhang et al, 2020).…”

“…Around the city of Kabul groundwater levels have however dropped considerably over the last decades (Mack et al, 2013). Similarly, on the lower Indus plains, groundwater resources are an important supplementary source for urban and agricultural water demand (Basharat et al, 2015;Biemans et al, 2019;Wijngaard et al, 2018), but are also depleting rapidly (Richey et al, 2015;Salam et al, 2020). The impact of upper Indus basin water consumption on water availability in the lower Indus in the dry season will be reduced while these resources are still available.…”

Abstract. The densely populated plains of the lower Indus basin largely depend on water resources originating in the mountains of the upper Indus basin. Although recent studies have improved our understanding of this upstream-downstream linkage and the impact of climate change, water use in the mountainous part of the Indus has been largely ignored. This study quantifies the comparative impact of upper Indus water usage on downstream water availability under future climate change and socio-economic development. Future water consumption and relative pressure on water resources vary greatly between upper Indus sub-basins and seasons. During the dry season, the share of surface water required within the upper Indus is high and increasing, and in some sub-basins future water requirements exceed availability during the critical winter months. In the lower Indus this causes spatiotemporal hotspots to emerge where seasonal water availability is reduced by over 25 % compared to natural conditions. This plays an important, but previously not accounted for, compounding role in the steep decline of per capita seasonal water availability in the lower Indus in the future due to downstream population growth. Increasing consumption in the upper Indus may thus locally lead to water scarcity issues, and increasingly be a driver of downstream water stress during the dry season. The quantified perspective on the evolving upstream-downstream linkages of the transboundary Indus basin, provided in this study, highlights that long-term water management here must account for rapid socio-economic change in the upper Indus and anticipate increasing upstream-downstream water competition between riparian states.

“…Jhelum, Ravi, Chenab as well as Sutlej are also the eastern territories of an Indus (Clift et al, 2002;Wescoat et al, 2000). As per the Indus Water Treaty (1960), Bias, Ravi as well as Sutlej were controlled by India and Chenab, Jhelum and Indus were granted to Pakistan (Salam et al, 2020). Moreover, Pakistan have been numerous small rivers joining the west of the Indus, the largest of which would be Kabul.…”

Around two-thirds of the earth’s surface covered with water, it is obvious that water is among the most significant aspects that are essential for the life of human being. It is not only important to live, but also important to take a part in social and financial development. Water is God’s personalized gift, as well as the necessity of life. Due to high level of gluttony, misused play of people with the environment and the global climate, shift results in progressive diminishing of natural resources. The problems of freshwater and food security at global level linked to the overwhelming population of the world. To overcome the food and water scarcity challenge, there is required to transfer the freshwater from agriculture sector to other straining purposes. Pakistan is facing the meager water scarcity crises in the last few years, as water is becoming scarce to any specified usage. The quickly growing population, expansion of drainage regions, increasing urbanization and industrialization put a lot of stress on available water supplies. At the moment, there is dire need to harvest rain water by constructing more dams and focus on effective management strategies for further use. Specifically, authors are recommended that, water should be provided demand base instead of supply base irrigation system. Moreover, in addition to land tax, tax on irrigation water quantity/usage should be rectified.
