The excessive and careless use of water is considered a major sin, and people have been strictly prohibited from wasting it.
Wasting water is a grave offense, and there is a clear prohibition against its extravagance.
It is essential to protect water from being wasted and to pay attention to leakages in taps and pipes at home, as leaks cause significant water loss precaution must be taken in this regard.
In the current situation, groundwater levels in Khuzdar have dropped thousands of feet, and further wastage must be prevented.
