Climate change is occuring because of uncontrolled emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. emissions fro industrial chimneys, Automobile, exhausts, etc. and we are not doing enough to find ways to control and mitigate the effect of the greenhouse gases.  Water although scarce but available. All we need to do is to manage the resources sustainably and find ways to conserve it. In Pakistan, water is available in the rivers flowing down to Arabian Sea. Water is available in the atmosphere specially in the areas closer to sea. All Pakistan Government needs to do is to find ways and methods to harness these resources.  We should also find ways to minimize wastage and conversation. People at domestic level should be taught the importance of water and how to use it sparingly. Repair leakages in time. Use controlled irrigation system to water the garden in the backyard.  There are a number Golf Courses in Pakistan using drinking water to irrigate grass. Water usage can be reduced to 50 to 60 per cent if most of the grass of the golf course can be replaced by Ground Cover (GC) plants in the areas of the golf course where grass is not required. Water requirement of GC is one third that of grass. Saving our world of total inhalation is in our own hands. It is high time our world leaders sit together  and find ways to save total catastrophy.
