Pakistan’s water management is at a critical watershed. Water shortages are growing rapidly as a result of growing demand across all water-using sectors. Rapid population growth, from 175 million people in 2010 to an estimated 236 million by 2030 and 280 million by 2050, and international food-price spikes create pressure to increase agricultural production of staples; but demand for cash crops is also growing rapidly to raise rural incomes and generate rural employment to absorb the relatively young, rapidly growing rural population. Water management is also increasingly affected by climate change – including an increased number of flood and drought events – and by growing energy shortages, which affect how water is being sourced and used. Last but not least, Pakistan’s political situation is fragile, which has reduced incentives to invest in enhanced agricultural water (and other) technologies. How Pakistan addresses these challenges will be decisive for its future water and food security, economic growth, and environmental sustainability. It will also affect water and food outcomes globally, due to the interconnectedness of global food trade. This book is geared toward researchers, policymakers, and investors in the water, energy and food sectors who want to learn about key drivers that affect Pakistan’s water and food security and have an interest to contribute to water and related solutions, several of which are presented in the book.This book was published as a special issue of Water International.

Ein Sturm zieht auf. Die Naturgewalten brechen sich Bahn. Danach ist nichts mehr, wie es war. Aber nicht nur die äußeren Katastrophen, auch die eigenen, oft kleinen Entscheidungen bestimmen manchmal über ein ganzes Leben. Und das der folgenden Generationen.Bangladesch, 1970. Honufa sammelt ihre Habseligkeiten zusammen. Sie sucht einen verhängnisvollen Brief. Sie schickt ihren kleinen Sohn in Sicherheit. Sie bangt um ihren Mann auf See. Sie bittet den falschen Gott um Hilfe.Washington, D. C., 2004. An einem stürmischen Abend bringt Shahryar seine sechsjährige Tochter Anna in ihr Zuhause, das nie seins war. Er wird das Land bald verlassen müssen. Vermachen kann er ihr nur die Erinnerungen an seine Heimat, seine Geschichte und an die Menschen, die er immer für seine Eltern hielt.Arif Anwar verwebt die Geschichten verschiedener Personen, die sich über mehrere Generationen, Kontinente und Jahrzehnte spannen und doch alle zusammenhängen. Vermeintliche Gewissheiten werden in Frage gestellt, während sich immer neue Rätsel auflösen. Anwars Saga erzählt, wie die Vergangenheit die Gegenwart formt, wie zählebig religiöse Feindschaft sein kann und wie wirkmächtig das koloniale Erbe ist. Vor allem aber hat Anwar einen eindrucksvollen Roman über Versöhnung geschrieben, darüber, wie Menschen einander helfen und wie man seine Familie findet, unabhängig davon, ob man tatsächlich verwandt ist.
