Zer-e-zameen pani aur solar pump ka masla
Indus Basin aquifer dunya ka doosra sab se zyada dabao ka shikar aquifer hai, aur Punjab mein zer-e-zameen pani har saal aadhe metre se aik metre tak neeche ja raha hai. Report kuch had tak solar tubewells ko zimmedar theherati hai, kyunke woh kisanon ko taqreeban baghair chalane ki laagat ke pani nikalne deti hain, aur un par subsidies ko registration aur pani nikalne ki hadon se mashroot karne ki tajweez deti hai.
Doosri tajaweez mein drip aur sprinkler irrigation ke liye muraat shamil hain, abiana ke paani ke charges mein izafa taake maintenance ki asal laagat poori ho sake, shehri ganday paani ka kam az kam aik chauthai hissa dobara istemal karna – jabke nigrani mein rakhe gaye shehri zarae mein se 53% peene ke liye ghair mehfooz hain – aur Indus River System Authority ke teht aik water system integrator qayam karna shamil hai jo dariya se khet tak paani ka hisab rakhe. Report ke mutabiq 2029 ke ahdaaf us waqt hi poore ho sakte hain jab infrastructure, regulation aur governance ki islahat saath saath aage barhein.
