KWSB finally approves K-IV project
The Federal Government on Wednesday issued the final approval the K-IV that would supply around 260 million gallons of water for the city.
This was announced during a meeting chaired by Deputy Chairman Planning Commission, Nadeemul Haq.
On this occasion, Managing Director Karachi Water & Sewerage Board (KW&SB) Misbahuddin Farid stated that the Irrigation Department of Sindh already approved the provision of 600 cusec (260 million gallon) additional supply from the River Indus to Karachi.
In the first stage of the project, citizens of Karachi would be provided with an additional 260 million gallon of water a day and the amount would thereafter be gradually increased.
So far, this is the biggest water supply project as all the previously completed projects by KWSB were not of more than 100 million gallon.
The MD Water Board hoped that provided that the funds would be released on time so that the project could be completed within four years. He also stated that this project would not only help KWSB overcome the shortage in water supply , but also allow industrial growth in the city. He said that the approval of additional water supply to Karachi is an Eid gift for citizens.
