Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam has celebrated World Water Day under the theme "Better water, Better jobs" with a large number of peasant women, farmers, fishermen, economists, researchers, academia and representatives of International Labour Organisation (ILO) and UN Food and Agriculture Organisation on Tuesday at the university premises.
The speakers stressed the need for saving water resources, which provide livelihoods to majority of agriculture workforce, fishermen and livestock holders in rural areas of Sindh as they are facing threats of losing traditional sources of livelihoods due to scarcity of water in their areas.
The speakers realised the fact that there is surplus water but unequal distribution of water created problems and people, especially those residing at tail end areas are crying for water. They said that marine and inland water bodies used to provide sources of income to hundreds of fishermen, but now these waters are being degraded, forcing these people to migrate to other places in search of livelihoods.
SAU Vice Chancellor Dr Mujeebuddin Memon Sehrai, Professor M Saffar Mirjat, Abid Niaz of ILO, author Zulfiqar Halepoto, Sndh Irrigation Drainage Authority General Manager Nazir Essani, Wapda General Manager Irshad Bohio, farmers Nadim Shah Jamot, Mir Zaffarullah Talpur, Research and Development Foundation (RDF) Programme Head Ashfaq Soomro, Professor Ismail Kumhar, Javeria Jabeen of DevCon, Fida Soomro of Laar Humanitarian Development Programme (LHDP) and others spoke on the occasion.
