Now it was time to know
the reality of efforts behind the provision of quantity and quality of Water
across Rawalpindi.
Team Water Wise visited Rawal Lake Filtration
Plant. We met the Assistant Director of the Filtration Plant. We informed him about
our project initiative.
He informed us in brief details about
the work to be done on the Rawal filtration plant. It intakes water from the
Rawal Dam/Lake, situated in Islamabad, and supplies water to the Potohar region
in Rawalpindi. They have also informed us of some issues such
as; Raise in the pollution level has also increased the cost of drinking water, Human settlement and commercial activity in the catchment
has also continuously grown causing further pollution in the catchment water, The
lake water is further contaminated with the runoff organic pollutant from both
domestic and commercial activity and fertilizers which cause increased dosage
of coagulant and disinfectant resulting in the rise of the treatment cost.
He helped us a lot with his advice on NUML Water Conservation Policy. He appreciated our work and issued a letter of
Appreciation in recognition of the work done by our group.
Team Members: Aliya Tabsum, Umair Khalid, Saimoon Anila, Kamran Javaid.
