Water for Survival
50% of the area of sub soil water is brackish, brackish water is water that has a salinity level between freshwater and seawater.
Main source of livelihood depends on rain water (people store rain water in ponds and dug wells for drinking purposes).
In sweet water areas, the water table has fallen very low, many permanent wells have also dried up.
During drought, parts of the population migrates to barrage- irrigated Sindh region.
