Islamabad is facing a serious water crisis with only 10 days of water supply left.

• These Photos of Rawal Dam Will Make You Realize the Seriousness of Pakistan’s Water Issues
  
  Karachi faces the same situation as only 10 days of water reserves are left in its main source of supply. If there aren’t any rains in the next few days, Karachi’s water supply will be completely stopped by the end of July.
  
  As per a UN report, per capita supply of water in Pakistan has reduced to 900 cubic meters from 5,260 cubic meters in 1951 in recent years.
  
  The main reason behind this is obviously a huge increase in population and lack of water supply mechanism.
  
  The UN has ranked Pakistan among the five countries that are facing a water crisis. As per international standards, a country must have 120 days of water in stock.
  
  Pakistan shockingly has only 30 days of water storage capacity while the neighbors India has around 220 days of water storage capacity.

Well i live here the situation really is this bad even in places where the property price is 3-5 crore per house water shortage exists and people are being forced to buy water tankers

With monsoon onset, and flooding in kashmir region, the water flow would soon reach the region too.
Agree going down to a point where you count the days of reserve is a nightmarish situation.
I would not get sleep, if i was told that only 10 days of water is left ...

this year in Islamabad there is no sign of monsoon rains and less rain is expected
