Pakistan is on the brink of becoming a water‐scarce country as a result of a peak in population and rapid urbanization. This research investigates the awareness of water scarcity amongst the general public in Pakistan and their behaviour and attitude towards water conservation practices at the household level. The study incorporated the theory of planned behaviour to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon. Households were surveyed in Islamabad Capital City using a quantitative research approach. Descriptive analysis and Fischer's exact test were followed to measure the variables. Results demonstrated a significant awareness regarding water scarcity amongst the residents which influenced positive behaviour and attitudes towards water conservation in the households. Notably, the p‐value for water consumption patterns was found to be highly significant at 0.000 for activities such as laundry, gardening and car washing and less significant at 0.003 for bathing and 0.002 for housecleaning. It is concluded that water use is conditioned by dwelling characteristics and the types of devices employed in the houses. This comprehensive understanding is crucial for developing targeted interventions that resonate with diverse populations worldwide.

This paper reflects on Pakistan’s current energy scenario and focuses on the Gilgit–Baltistan (GB) region where electrification remains a critical issue, particularly for the rural and remote communities. Aiming to evaluate the viability of hydropower as a sustainable energy source, the study involves an empirical investigation into the social, economic, and environmental impacts of two community-based micro-hydroelectric plants (CBMHPs) in Ahmadabad village, Hunza district. Employing an ethnographic methodology, data was collected through interviews with 21 households and 8 community members, supplemented by a focus group discussion. However, photographic data supported thematic analysis for data triangulation. Findings indicate that CBMHPs provide notable benefits, including continuous electricity, improved education, enhanced income opportunities, and a boost in tourism. These plants also lessen firewood usage, thereby cutting carbon emissions and aiding environmental conservation. The study advocates for the expansion of CBMHPs both in Pakistan and internationally to replicate these positive outcomes.
