SUMMERTIME WOES
A long summer of discontent seems to be in store for residents of Pakistan's capital, Islamabad. Last year, the city's Simly Dam reservoir had dropped to a record low level because of a prolonged drought. Despite recent rains, water tankers are still visible on the streets of the city's 22 residential districts. To tide over the crisis, the government plans to dig an additional 50 wells around the city and bring water in from the Khanpur Dam reservoir, about 60 kms away.
