On a scale of 0-100, India (18.2) and Pakistan (15.3) are almost at the bottom of the pile along with sub Saharan African countries.
Bangladesh (26.9) and Afghanistan (27.8) are better off, with Sri Lanka at a relatively respectable 46.7.

Water pollution is a serious problem for both India and Pakistan. We installed a filter action plant in our village for this reason. Local source had “lead” plumbing - lead is poison to human health.

Contamination of ground water tables is a serious problem. We will see the effects of this in 20-30 years when people get older.
 
Sir, population is not the reason. Water table management, water treatment systems and WASH(Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) are important factors.

Uhhh, the root cause of those systems not working is the massive demand put on them
due to massive population.

As of now the cities have super high population density, where it is just easy to bore a hole and use water.
The government doesn't have resources to provide WASH for such a huge population.

actually it does, the last report by GIZ technical team visit to Pakistan said so much in their working paper. But alas if that’s what you want to believe and stay pessimistic, who am I to oppose you.

I’ve worked in developing rural communities in some very remote parts of Pakistan, it can be done.

Sir, aap kuch bhi kar ln, all that technical talk. You can't convince us to breed like rabbits for ghazwa-e-hind anymore. No, sir. Not sustainable
