Initiatives taken by present Government of Sindh in the Year 2011

Permanent solution of purified water in desert/arid and coastal belt areas by using most modern technologies in order to establish source of purified water on regular basis and protect people from potentially harmful water borne diseases and give them chance to earn more by having improved social-economic conditions.
District Tharparkar & Umarkot Desert /Arid Zone
Districts Badin & Thatta Tail end of canal where water is not available on regular basis and on coastal belt where fishermen are living and need purified water for their families and for washing fishes with clean water as per set standards No of Water Schemes 83 Urban and Rural Water Schemes (with daily production capacities of approx. 22 million liters per day) based on RO technology as an alternate and self reliance source as canal water is not available in region social-economic conditions.
ural water schemes for the villages located at the tail end of canal or at coastal belt areas where drinking water shortage was acute and upon having these schemes maximum population living in the vicinity will get purified water on regular basis.
Coal & Energy Department through Sindh Coal Authority 10 schemes by Fishery and Livestock Department scheme for better facilities to the fishermen
25 schemes by Coal & Energy Development Department
Results
---- Improved health and cio-economic conditions
---- Employment to local engineers and technical staff
---- The drinking water is providing everyday from existing water schemes to the people and during flood / rainy season these plants have been operational and clean drinking water was being provided to the people.
---- By providing basic facilities in areas foreign investors will feel comfortable and will invest in coal mining and power projects, renewable wind and solar energy, livestock and fishery sectors.
Fast track scheme initiated by Public Health Engineering Department establishing 40 water schemes based on Reverse Osmosis Water Desalination Plants in 30 days record time in 12 Flood Affected Districts to continue supply of 16 million liters purified water everyday by treating surface/ground water as water schemes were submerged in flood water and mixed with contamination.
District Thatta, Badin, Tando Allah Yar, Mirpurkhas, Sanghar, Omarkot, Shaheed Benzirabad, Noshero Feroz, Khairpur, Sukkur, Larkana, Shahdadkot, Dadu (Khairpur Nathan Shah and Johi). No of Water Schemes 40 Urban and Rural Water Schemes (with daily production capacities of approx. 16 million liters per day Public Health Engineering Department.
Results
---- Purified water was available during flood/rainy season from these RO water schemes.
---- Presently people are taking drinking
---- Water from the schemes as the main water works have been damaged during flood season.
---- These Plants with design life of 25 years have been installed in these areas on permanent basis and providing water everyday as well as will be the solution of purified water in case of any disaster (flood/rain)
---- Improvement of Urban Water schemes and installation of most modern filtration plants in each and every city/town in order to avoid water borne diseases as maximum hospital occupancy is due to water borne diseases
---- The Largest Ultra Filtration Plant in Pakistan has been completed and operational by Public Health Engineering Department in Sindh Province.
---- The project capacity is 14 million imperial gallons per day and the project has been completed within 6 months record time. The UF technology has tendency to remove bacteria and virus without using any chemical during filtration process and upon installation of similar UF plants in other cities substantial reduction in water borne diseases will be expected.
---- Improvement plan in irrigation water management by using Renewable Energy to sustain eco-friendly environment and use more land for cultivation by removing salinity and give clear chance to the people to grow more crops.
---- Protection of Manchhar lake from external contamination in order to maintain lake as a water reservoir and restore fisheries activities.
---- Rural Water development projects for villages by establishing 500 Water Hubs in order to provide potable drinking water on regular basis to maximum population living in large number of villages.
