Abstract
This study aims to assess the status of water scarcity in Thar Desert of Pakistan and find pragmatic remedial measures. This desert belt is the most water scare region in the country. The Research used both quantitative and qualitative data, considering both primary and secondary data collection, analysis and interpretation. This study summarized that groundwater is the major water source for 91% households in Thar desert. Barrage water supplied through pipeline system has been capable of quenching water needs of about 6%. Whereas 03% don’t have any permanent water source, coerced to purchase it. Per capita water availability is 10 liters per day for 85% households. Women and school children (girls and boys) are responsible to fetch water which affects both productive working hours and education. Hence, this study recommends adopting innovative approaches including promoting rainwater harvesting and revamping the existing water sources in the Thar desert.
