Karachi’s water crisis, which has been a bane for its citizens for the past 15 years, saw a glimmer of hope a decade ago with the launch of the Greater Water Supply Scheme known as K-IV project, about 200 billion rupees scheme was to offer the city a 650 MGD supply and amend Karachi’s long-standing water shortage, but was plagued with delays and became less a reality and more a distant dream for Karachiites.
However, after many years of back and forth, it appears the project has finally reached the concluding stages of its design, under the supervision of the National Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA), and is slated to be fully drafted by sometime next week. After the preparation and approval of PC-1, the development work will start from January next year, and the project itself is expected to be completed in two years.
