KARACHI: Governor of Sindh, Muhammad Zubair on Thursday emphasised the need for close cooperation among provincial, municipal governments and local bodies to manage water under cohesive and well thought out strategies. Talking to a three-member delegation of Hisar Foundation, working for water conservation in the country, he said that the water sector in Pakistan needs focus and direction that could result in the enhancement of the country’s water economy. Governor Muhammad Zubair agreed that the country’s youth must be involved in the process of water conservation and management through adequate training. “Safeguarding the Indus basin, its aquifers and relevant infrastructure coupled with improved water governance and management of water institutions are also urgently needed,” said the governor.
