ABOUT THE BOOK

Water scarcity is becoming a global issue and while most of the developed world has been able to overcome this challenge, countries of the developing world are suffering; the biggest reason being not having realized that a resource like water could have become a threat to national security. While this pattern is common in other regions of the world, the focus of this book is on studying water scarcity as an important concern for national security in the few states of Asia, focusing on Pakistan.
