Access to clean water is a significant problem in Pakistan, with the country ranked among the top 10 in the world with the lowest access to safe drinking water. A 2018 report by the Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources revealed that more than 44 million people in the country face water scarcity, and many are forced to drink contaminated water that can cause serious health problems. The issue is particularly acute in rural areas, where access to water and sanitation is severely limited.
