Tube Well irrigation, a problem in Punjab Pakistan

in Freewriters5 months ago

Take a closer look at this report. In the Punjab province of Pakistan alone, there were more than 1.2 million tube wells as of 2021. The question here is why there was a need for so many tube wells in a country that has the best irrigation system in the world. According to a report by Dawn News, Lahore has been facing an increase in water depth of three feet per year since 2013. Not only this, the vast area of Central Punjab is also facing an increase in water depth of 69.8 centimeters per year. The government is providing solar panels purchased from China to farmers under cheap programs, but why is it being ignored that these solar panels are playing the biggest role in the water shortage?
