00:03News reports warn that Kabul, a capital city right next door to us, could run out of water by 2030.
00:10Boreholes are drying up. Drought is deepening.
00:13Families walk further every single day just to fill one bucket.
00:17Here in Pakistan, 9 in 10 of us live in the Indus Basin.
00:21Our rivers feed our farms, our cities, and our children.
00:24But we store less than one-tenth of the rain that falls on us.
00:27This week, the world took a step forward.
