Pakistan’s wheat crop under threat

For decades, the Chenab River has been one of the main sources of irrigation for millions of farmers in northern Pakistan.

But a dramatic decline in rainfall in the region is threatening to dry out the vital river, a problem many Pakistanis say is being compounded by a hydroelectric project across the border in India.

Agricultural experts say the falling water levels could eventually put all of Pakistan’s agriculture at risk.
