Global Crisis
• 2.5 billion people lack access toimproved sanitation.

• 748 million people lack accessto improved drinking-waterand it is estimated that 1.8billion people use a source ofdrinking-water that is faecallycontaminated.
• Hundreds of millions of peoplehave no access to soap andwater to wash their hands

Challenges
• Critical gaps in monitoring
• Weak country capacity to implement plans
• Insufficient funding

Water Aid Pakistan-Facts• 15.3 Million people in
Pakistan don't have accessto safe water

Financing Issues
• National financing forWASH is insufficient
• National WASH Plans• Two-thirds of countries
recognize the right to bothwater and sanitation intheir constitution orlegislation
• Few countries use availabledata to make fundingdecisions on sanitation
• Huge financing gapbetween budgets andplans

GIS Mapping
• Health Data Portal• Data with date and time
(Last Results)• No Redundancy
(Integrated Approach)• One Portal for all
(PCRWR, WASA, EPA, NUST Labs, etc)
• Activate GPS coordinates during collection
• On Spot Water Quality Analysis
Hygiene & Sanitation Challenges in Pakistan 13
Hot Spot Analysis• Maximum number of
deaths (each province)• Maximum spread of
diseases (Hospital Data for Children under 5)
• Area Identification (Point Sources, Industrial, Local Hazards)
• Water Quality Assessment
• Regression Modelling• Correlation Techniques• Pakistan Bureau of
StatisticsHygiene & Sanitation Challenges in Pakistan 14
Design Separate Drains for Industry
• Save the Populated Areas• Industrial Drains to
discharge outside the city(not connected within thecity)
• Polluter Pays for Treatment• Water Meters for Industry
(Reuse Water)• No Water Bores Allowed
within Industry’s premises• Wastewater Mapping (GIS)
All Parameters• Plant Non-Fruit trees with
Industrial Wastewater(Barren)

The Greatest Challenge
• International Laws
• Pricing
• Flood Relief

Disruptive Innovation
• Generate disruptive, new ideas
• Emerging Trends (Water Technologies)
• How can you generate more income out of it
• Lower Costs• More Users
(Affordability)

Create Competition
• Low Cost WASH Technologies for Urban/Rural Areas
• Innovative Thinking
• Handsome Awards
• Green Journalism

The Bitter Reality• Reality: Attending a
conference/seminar/workshops
• Reality: Talking about issues
• Reality: We will try to solve our problems
• Dreaming: We will do this & that… GIS Maps, Disruptive Innovations, Minting money out of our products
• Final Reality: We will have a cup of tea after the conference and things will remain the same as they are…
