of this precious resource, vital to existence and sustenance at all levels. |

Lakes
of Sindh

Sindh had
the best fresh water lakes, lagoons and marshes in the country and also
the most – twenty one of them spread over 130,000 hectares, visited
by millions of migratory water fowls. This included the surface feeders,
the diving duck, the variegated waders, and the fish by the bushel for
everyone, and the picturesque fisherman of the marshes – the pelican,
which moved with an efficient net hanging day and night under the chin,
even in sleep.
