On the 28th and 30th of May of that year, Pakistan conducted six nuclear explosions, following five tests by India about two weeks earlier. In the background of more than fifty years of hostile relations, starting from a violent partition to three brutal wars, Pakistan had no recourse but to conduct its own nuclear tests when India did so. Since that momentous episode, the regional strategic dynamics of South Asia changed forever. This year marks twenty years since the May tests. Every year on May 28, Pakistan celebrates its Youm-e- Takbeer or “Day of Greatness” to remember this significant landmark in Pakistan’s history. While Pakistan had developed its nuclear weapons capability more than a decade earlier, it had exercised a self-imposed restraint ever since, till the time India opted to carry out overt nuclear tests. By conducting its own tests, Pakistan was hoping to restore strategic parity with India, which has a considerable conventional superiority vis-à-vis Pakistan.

    Three-day Conference on Water problems in Pakistan and their solutions 15-17 April 2019, Pakistan Academy of Sciences, G-5/2, Islamabad Organized by: In collaboration with: PAEC PCRWR PAS PSF 1. Introduction: Water availability, storage, supply and its quality are among the major issues, which the world is facing at present. With respect to Pakistan, water related issues have been highlighted by the Government of Pakistan, in general, and Chief Justice of Pakistan, in particular. Pakistan needs to have a strategy to fully exploit viable sources of water and manage its storage, in order to ensure that Pakistani population will be able to meet its water requirements, in the long run. Additionally, the power short-fall can be reversed through hydroelectric power production. Apart from water availability, there are problems of potable and agricultural water supply, which are related to health and food security issues. It is the need of the day to address these issues and find out their solutions. Critical analysis of existing water quality is of utmost importance and in this connection water quality surveillance, monitoring strategies, selection of most appropriate technologies and processes to supply safe and drinkable water is essential. Specially, the nuclear water desalination, membrane based water purification and other processes to treat the brackish, sea and contaminated water have to be critically analyzed for suitable and economic solutions of the water quality problems. Cost is an important factor in view of the limited national financial resources. An analysis of the sources of funding and strategies for optimal use of funds are required to ensure safe and affordable supply of water at the door steps of common man.
