Mobile units with water sprinklers provide much needed cooling and play a vital role in averting fatalities. Despite heats reaching 50 degrees. Who this seems to be the new normal and International Climate report places pakistan among the 10 countries most affected by the Climate Crisis . Who in big cities like karachi, a lack of trees, paved roads and toll buildings increase the heat further. In addition, the population is growing immensely in unplanned and densely populated neighborhoods. Car g is a for track of an example of popular shown explosion to the small go from 50, which began mcgovern from, from vienna to the mouth, the loudest, so popular, shouldnt you have more people you need more water, your more shrub. Some vag cruiser, meanwhile, also mismanagement garage. You did not manage to protect and florentine courses. Oh. With rising temperatures, the population of karachi is consuming more and more water. The city would need several 1000000000 late as every day to cover the needs of its residence. But the local authorities can only provide about half of what is needed a. Ready so what does the karachi water board think about this problem . Ready i met awfully, ha, ha, ha, ha, i got i, its a distribution problem. Well bottom karachi daily.

Projects that water shortages will displace hundreds of millions of people as early as 2030 temperatures in south asia, arising because of an increase in global Greenhouse Gas emissions. The heat is melting the himalayas ice cap, because this area supplies water to large parts of the subcontinent. Its also known as south asias water tower. The glass c as in northern pakistans disputed kashmir region, a part of the largest ice sheet existing anywhere in the world outside the 2 poles. But these glaciers, retreating at previously unknown speeds in gormet, a village in northern pakistan, the effects are already showing. And according to a 2019 study, 36 percent of the regions glaciers could have melted away by the end of this century. Clay c, ologist cetera, puffin researches the sheets of ice surrounding the himalayas. This was once the idea we cared plenty of water frandisco glacier because the glacier was much higher and you went up to their level of dis, marines. You can see here this moraine, it shows that they are the lower, was much higher so that what it was, or that he charging these are edition can, is the glacial that we had is sensitive to climate, the ex, according to the template, yet in the precipitation when its the heart, it melts a lot. Since 1988, the snow line in northern pakistan has receded by 1 point, one kilometers. A decline that scientists had expected to play out over a 1000 year period has taken less than 30 years. And if global emissions remain at current levels, all of south asia ice could disappear. These glaciers are also important for these hummers, while living here will defend on these agricultural for their livelihoods. Because you can see this, sir, that this is witty and malicious, yet a deficit area less than one in these play nearly as rare at this glacier that people practice negative as yet. So its not possible without the watch as from these glitches ah, villages like this one. Nestled far up on the hill side of the kara core, a mountains are at high risk lakes. That form in the glaciers often breach the ice causing flash floods that sweep away everything in their path. I shall cut ali is a Community Leader and local guide.

Was me, one of them should be, is the go can not dickie goes to the snow is completely covered with mud or escape when the glacier movie just goes, it brings mud and debris to the surface, but totally got the but its got a yard you opt up one of the data year. Dying by is it buddha, eyes j. We see here that all the ice around it melts and close into this holes, which is connected to the river further down. It will get that he at that point jumper when boulders block its way at austin. The collected water comes rushing down like a tidal. Why need you let you know much with a bunny hill . Excitedly got.
