LAHORE: Nestlé Pakistan joined hands with Pakistan Agriculture Research Council (PARC) to highlight water wastage issues faced in the country due to poor agriculture practices, a statement said on Wednesday.
The event marked the official inauguration of a project to find solutions to avoid water wastage in agricultural practices, focusing on finding innovative answers for efficient and effect water management, it added.
The world over, around 70 percent of water is used in agriculture. In Pakistan, that percentage stands at 90 percent, with 50 percent wastage due to poor irrigation methods, the statement said.
This water wastage needs to end by means of better practices to save generation from water scarcity.
Under this partnership, Nestlé Pakistan is enhancing PARC’s technical capacity through installation of drip irrigation systems, which is proven way to revive and increase crop production.
