People of several suburban areas of Karachi are dependent for their water needs on rainwater which refills their wells and ponds, but the areas have received no rain over the past some years.
The drought has left 20 per cent of the wells at their lowest level, while water of 80 per cent wells has turned brackish, according to a recent survey of the affected areas.
