Parched Nation: Inside Pakistan's Desperate Battle for Water - Tapa blanda

Parched Nation (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In Parched Nation, researchers A.R. Usmani and M.A. Basit begin with the simple question: How did a country of 250 million people, with ample natural water resources, come so close to crisis? Through firsthand accounts, expert analysis, and historical evidence, the book highlights how historical political, economic, and environmental mismanagement created this disaster - in a country that has enough water to meet its needs many times over. Rather than assigning blame, the book focuses on understanding systemic weaknesses, why they exist, and how to course-correct for sustainable water governance. They underscore the importance of building institutional capacity, improving governance, and making strategic investments that link water security with economic stability. Beyond the numbers and policies, Parched Nation also zooms in on the human element, sharing stories of the people who suffer the most from the worsening collapse. Parched Nation isn't just a record of what's gone wrong. It is a roadmap toward national resilience. It calls on policymakers, researchers, and citizens to treat water management not just as an environmental issue, but as a pillar of economic security and long-term stability.
