Explanation:
Solutions that address the overuse of water will not be easy to carry out, suggesting they are unlikely to be implemented in the near-term.
Even though Pakistan has limited land suitable for farming, the agricultural sector is a major component of its economy. While Pakistan has an arid to semi-arid climate, it is not physically water-scarce. Its water problems are caused by inefficiencies, waste and mismanagement, all of which are especially present in the agricultural sector. The majority of farmland is irrigated through a canal system that has, historically, provided ample water. In recent years, however, the situation has changed. Pakistan is now facing increased pressure from dwindling water supplies. Supply-side solutions could provide a short-term solution, but long-term solutions necessitate a reduction in the amount of water lost through poorly maintained infrastructure and finding other ways to conserve water.
