flag The shrinking Indus River delta in Pakistan has displaced over 1.2 million people due to reduced water flow and increased salinity.

flag The Indus River delta in Pakistan is shrinking due to reduced water flow and increased seawater intrusion, which has displaced over 1.2 million people and devastated farming and fishing communities. flag Since the 1950s, the downstream flow has decreased by 80%, leading to a 70% rise in water salinity since 1990. flag This has made farming impossible and harmed local shrimp and crab populations. flag Efforts to restore the delta include the 'Living Indus Initiative,' but challenges like land grabbing and threats from India persist.
