This year's theme for World Water Day, "Water for cities: responding to the urban water challenge" , focuses on the impact of rapid urbanisation on the availability of safe water. As Pakistan has one of the highest rates of urbanisation in South Asia, the theme is particularly relevant to the country as it struggles with its ability to provide clean drinking water.
