Water management and women
Munir Uz Zaman / Driknews
The relation between life and water is inseparable. But if you closely observe, you will find a deep relation between water and women. Women take the responsibility of water management in a family. We are living in the 21st century and still women in the developing world are wasting their valuable time just to fetch water. On an average they are wasting four to five hours every day only to fetch water. As a result, they are deprived of participating in social, cultural, economic and political activities. Women have vast knowledge about water sources and water management. We should recognise their knowledge and experience to develop water sources and to be successful in water management. Analysing statistics I have found that water crisis has the worst effect on women. Because women are the prime collectors and users of water.
