Info

6,000 have been trained by PCRWR through a one-week intensive course for technicians and a three-day course for managers. Low-cost water testing and treatment technologies being manufactured at PCRWR include; lowcost arsenic-testing kits; low-cost bacteria-testing kits; bacteria, turbidity, arsenic removal kits; low-cost water and salinity monitoring instruments; and chlorinators for water purification. Dr. Qureshi laid emphasis on creating synergies among water-related organizations, academia and private sector of the country and the need to collectively transfer the benefits of technology to the masses. With the same perspective, he invited Dr. Tahir, who is also the National Coordinator for United Nations University (UNU), to visit Islamabad and Abbottabad campuses of CIIT. Discussions were held on the water-filtration devices being distributed by NGOs to the flood victims and the need of testing these devices to ensure that none of them fails to provide safe drinking water to the people. Other matters discussed during the meeting related to the availability of water labs in the country; need of water standardization; need of delivering applied knowledge at universities; national and international collaboration of PCRWR; and efficacy of various locally manufactured as well as imported water purifiers.

Executive Director COMSATS was pleased to note that NWQL is ISO 17025 certified and has recognition in America and Europe. During the visit, Dr. Tahir explained the procedure of testing water for different parameters. Also, the delegation visited Remote Sensing and Graphic Information System (RS/GIS) & Hydrology Modeling Centre of PCRWR. 42
