Farmers in Sindh, Pakistan, are facing severe water shortages that threaten agricultural productivity and local livelihoods. Despite the region's reliance on crops like rice and cotton, government efforts to address irrigation issues have been criticized as inadequate.

According to figures acknowledged by the Sindh and federal governments, around 18 million acres of agricultural land remain uncultivated because of water scarcity, while only 8.2 million acres are under cultivation.
