Islamabad, July 18, 2022 (PPI-OT): Capital Development Authority and PCRW have jointly built 40 underground water reservoirs in I, H, F and G series of Islamabad. Recharge wells are being fully utilized. According to the PCRW survey, more than 8 to 10 million gallons of water have been recharged from various rechargeable wells on a daily basis due to recent rains.
Moreover, the teams formed by the water supply department are also fully monitoring these wells after every rain. Similarly, in order to maintain the underground water level, the rainwater is collected and after its complete recycling and filtration, it is purified from the polluted elements and transferred underground.
Apart from this, the work of installation of 60 new recharge wells on behalf of the water supply department is also going on vigorously. So that the water wasted in the rains can be protected as much as possible and the underground water level can also be maintained.
It should be noted that the water supply wing will complete the installation of the remaining rechargeable wells in a short period of 3 to 4 months. According to the details, these recharge wells will be built around hospitals, educational institutions, government institutions, mosques, green areas and other buildings so that the underground water level can be maintained due to boring. In this regard, the process of building survey is going on rapidly by the concerned departments.
It should be noted that while these recharge wells will support the tube wells installed by the water supply department, they will also help in increasing the bore pressure of the residents and maintaining the underground water level.
In this regard, the CDA administration has also appealed to the citizens to be careful in using water and avoid wastage of water so that maximum water can be used by the citizens. For the convenience of more citizens, the water supply department of CDA has issued a helpline and WhatsApp number 7775444-0335 as well as complaint center numbers.
Apart from this, the water supply department has further appealed to the citizens that if any person wastes water, they should immediately contact the helpline number or WhatsApp number of the water management wing so that legal action can be taken.
