The World Bank has suggested to the Balochistan government to construct more dams to preserve rainwater in the wake of fast declining level of subsoil water. Official sources said on Wednesday that a delegation of the World Bank, headed by Mehwash Wasaq, called on Balochistan Senior Minister for Planning and Development Maulana Abdul Wasey and presented him suggestions for resolving the water crisis in Balochistan. The delegation emphasized the need for adopting scientific methods to preserve rainwater to meet requirement of drinking and irrigation water. The WB officials suggested that more dams should be constructed in the province to preserve rainwater besides adopting trickle irrigation system. The WB offered its all out collaboration in this regard.
