Mismanagement causes water crisis in Thatta
Poor planning, mismanagement and vested interest are major factors behind prevailing water crisis in Thatta district, this correspondent has learnt after gathering information from relevant quarters. Thatta and surrounding Katchi Abadis have a population of over 70,000 which are being supplied water through 13 average size water reservoirs under the supervision of the taluka nazim. Experts believed that if once these reservoirs were filled to full capacity water would be sufficient for at least 15 days for the population.
