Title Sustainable Development Goals and Water Insecurity in Balochistan A case study of Quetta City

Author(s) Mr. Karman

Abstract The dilemma of water insecurity can exert extreme pressure on the least developed countries. Sustainable Development goal 6 asks for the Sustainable water availability for drinking and domestic use and also calls for sanitation. It proclaims that water scarcity is one of the major crisis in the world. It can be concluded that all other goals are directly connected with goal 6. Water insecurity can further increase the fringe elements in the society thereby giving rise to social and economic problems. The study focusing on Balochistan and then extrapolated into Quetta district shows alarming results. Prevalent structure and culture is severely disturbed due to water scarcity. Mass urbanization, rise in population and agriculture have reduced the ground water manifolds. This in turn led to the phenomenon of water insecurity. Mass migration and decrease in water table has led to many social and economic problems in Quetta district. Mass migration led to rise in the population therefore disturbing the economic equilibrium of the Quetta district. Moreover, due to migration a rift is created among indigenous population and the migrants also referred as refugees. More over more population has a burdening effect on the water table. These factors result in the problems like rampant chaos, violence and terrorism. Water insecurity has and can play a drastic role in disturbing the stability of the Quetta district
