Pakistan is one of the most water stressed countries in the world where total actual renewable water resources have been decreasing day by day. Presently water resources in Pakistan decreased from 5000 cubic meters per capita in 1951 to 1100 cubic meters in last year.
Currently, over 35 percent of Pakistan’s population does not have access to safe drinking water. The quality of drinking water supply is poor, with bacterial contamination, arsenic, fluoride and nitrate being the factors of major concern. Province of Sindh is one of the highly water scarce province of Pakistan. Deterioration in water quality and contamination of lakes, rivers and groundwater aquifers has resulted in increased waterborne diseases and other health impacts.
Coastal belt of Sindh is one of the highly effected areas where decreased inflow in Indus river delta is resulting in salt water intrusion from sea. This reduced water inflow destabilized eco system as well as made drinking water availability a major problem for the people especially women.
Mirpur Sakro is one of the water scarce area near coastal belt of Sindh. It is 90 kilometers away from Karachi. Since last 2 years Lodhie Foundation is providing relief to the community through installing hand pumps is this area. Lodhie Foundation is very grateful to Syed Afroze Hussaini for his generous support for the installation of 10 hand pumps in Village Mora Dani and surrounding areas located in Mirpur Sakro district Thatta Sindh.
Pumps Installation was started in Mid of August 2015 and finished in 3rd week of September 2015. Before the installation of pumps near their houses, women are used to travel 1 to 5 Kilometers to fetch a pot water for their families and cattle.
At the completion time of Hand pump installation nearly 465 households of village MoraDani and surrounding areas were enjoying clean water near their houses. Earlier they were dependent on open reservoirs, canals or open wells for drinking water. Women have to walk quiet a distance to fetch water and multiple rounds are performed to collect sufficient amount of water for their daily usage. Before the installation of hand pumps women have to walk 1 to 5 km, to fetch water which need 1 to 3 hours. Now the
condition has been improved drastically as, water is available near their homes which is a blessing for families and their cattle. Pump water is used for domestic purpose and drinking.
Availability of spare parts for repair and maintenance is not easy in remote areas. To overcome this problem each pump is supplied with necessary spares to keep it maintain without any delay.

66/366: Dog Playing Fetch
It is a beautiful day to be outside and be active. This photo of Skippy the dog playing fetch summarizes today’s happiness. The windows are open, the lawn is mowed, the dogs are happy, the family is happy. The fresh air feels incredible in my lungs and the cleansing smell of nature pierces my soul. Get outside!

A re-do of a photograph of my grand-dog, June Bug, playing in Lake Michigan. The sky was fairly lack luster, so I cropped it out.

But I wanted a whole beer kitty! 3kg of pure fetch kitty... when we pop a beer we toss the cap on the floor and lil miss brings it back. Fun game for this odd lovable feline. Methow Valley, Wa Mar 1 13 1797
This is not my doggie, but she came up to me while I was laying in the grass and brought her ball. We played fetch for awhile...she was so sweet! :D
The light makes it look so warm... you can't even tell that I had no feeling left in my hands.
Please DO NOT post my photos on tumblr or similar websites. NO exceptions, unless you receive my consent. Photos easily get stolen that way. I wish it didn't have to be that way but I'm tired of others using my images.
I wish the family dog followed commands half as well. Tri-colored heron with menhaden on Horsepen Bayou.
