The objective of this study is to analyze Pakistan’s water governance challenges in achieving the Sustainable Development Goal of clean water, which is dynamic for Pakistan's public health, economic growth, and environmental sustainability. Clean water is essential for drinking, sanitation, and hygiene because waterborne illnesses, including cholera, typhoid, and diarrhea, are among the primary causes of sickness and mortality in Pakistan. SDG6 Clean water and sanitation are imperative for Pakistan’s agricultural and industrial services, since both industries rely largely on a steady supply of water. The methodology of this study is qualitative, while it also uses historical and descriptive approaches to identify challenges to access clean water, effective strategies for improving water management in Pakistan. It suggests the clean water issues must be addressed through the Construction of more reservoirs, dams, and recycling of Water. Financial empowerment and global collaboration are also essential for the implementation of SDG6.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze Pakistan’s water governance challenges in achieving the Sustainable Development Goal of clean water, which is dynamic for Pakistan's public health, economic growth, and environmental sustainability. Clean water is essential for drinking, sanitation, and hygiene because waterborne illnesses, including cholera, typhoid, and diarrhea, are among the primary causes of sickness and mortality in Pakistan. SDG6 Clean water and sanitation are imperative for Pakistan’s agricultural and industrial services, since both industries rely largely on a steady supply of water. The methodology of this study is qualitative, while it also uses historical and descriptive approaches to identify challenges to access clean water, effective strategies for improving water management in Pakistan. It suggests the clean water issues must be addressed through the Construction of more reservoirs, dams, and recycling of Water. Financial empowerment and global collaboration are also essential for the implementation of SDG6.
