Hisaar Foundation is a non-profit organization
According to global data, Pakistan is already a water-deficit country. Given the impacts of global warming, increasing population, and the impending shortages of sweet water, Pakistan has already had early warnings of drought, food problems and livelihood erosion. The erratic cycles of drought and floods are already upon us. 20 million people
were affected by the floods in 2010. Pakistan’s population is set to reach 265.7 million by the year 2030. Unless
low cost methods are found to desalinate seawater, this means progressively lower per capita availability of sweet
water for the country.
Hisaar Foundation provides a platform for seeking solutions relevant for the water-food-livelihood nexus. It promotes Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and environmental conservation.
Vision: Balancing environment with development through innovation.
Mission: Promoting appropriate policies and creative, low-cost solutions for conservation in Pakistan by working
on water, food, livelihood and climate change issues.
