Feasibility of Commercial cum Welfare Water Filteration Plants in Rawalpindi

Abstract

Water is vital for the survival of every form of life in this world. The human body composes of 70% water. Reduced consumption of water can cause de-hydration and kidney diseases. According to research, human beings should drink up to 8 glasses of water every day for maintaining a healthy life. But, these eight glasses of water can only be helpful if water is clean and pure.

There are numerous water-borne diseases which may make a person ill because of contaminated water consumption. The only solution to prevent these diseases is to use water which is hygienic and purified.

In our research, we have looked into the various methods of purifying drinking water. Research has shown that the Pakistanis in general are not careful and keep away from going through long and burdensome process of boiling wate and also not use cheap methods like chlorination. Moreover, there are many other problems e.g, insufficient institutions, low drinking water quality, less access to clean drinking water and discontinuous supply of water. Therefore, as a solution, we have suggested to set up filtration plants to provide access to clean drinking water to general population. We have taken Rawalpindi city as an example of how we plan to step up these filtration plants in other parts of Pakistan. The maintenance of these filtration plants will be covered through funds generated by providing advertising space to private and public sector for their advertising campaigns.
