Abstract
Approximately two third of the Earth’s surface is covered with the life-sustaining liquid, water. Studies depict that by the middle of the century, more than half of the humanity will reside in water-stressed areas, which also include Pakistan. Pakistan is among the list of those countries, which are confronting chronic water issue. Pakistan is water stressed country and the situation is going to be more critical in future. The degradation and over exploitation of water resources by human is not a new phenomenon. Water as common pool resource is commonly available for people either free or they pay small amount of money which do not attract the attention of the users to use carefully. The behavior of people is the key problem in over exploitation of resources of water. People either use the water resources carelessly, which do not attract their attention to conserve water for the reason of facing water problems in future. The study shows that Behavioral change is an effective way of tackling the water shortage and ensuring the efficient management of water resources. Behaviors of people for conservation of water were highly depend upon education level, age, past history of respondents water shortage problem, awareness, attitude of family, friends and surrounding of respondents.
