Karachi Water Project

The IECON 2022 gala dinner in Brussels

KWP's smart device design video wins IES-SYPA 3M Video Competition. Junaid Ahmed Memon from KWP's Tech team presented the work on smart device in IECON22 (https://iecon2022.org/). This is for all students who helped in any way in making it possible. The video is featured on the Industrial Electronics Society Official YouTube Channel.

Ever wondered, how water gets to your tap?

Here are the 8 major stages in water treatment plants.

7 common waterborne diseases that could be life-threatening.

The Karachi Water Project is an interdisciplinary research group engaged in investigating approaches to improve water management in Karachi. The group headed by Dr. Hassaan F. Khan strives to develop technological and policy-based solutions to Karachi’s water challenges.
It has 5 ongoing studies:

• Water Insecurity and equitable access

• Development of a smart flow meter with cloud computing

• Water use and behaviors in low-income communities

• Exploring alternate water networks

• Assessing willingness to pay for water

Presented our design of a Smart Device that we are using to measure water consumption of households to estimate the water demand of Karachi as part of the Karachi Water Project (www. karachiwaterproject.com) at held at Brussels, Belgium. It’s so humbling to present the work that we have been doing over the years at Habib University
The team includes researchers, students, faculty, and professionals who are trying to understand water consumption in Karachi, Pakistan. It will eventually help policymakers provide the data needed to target water inequality and insecurity in the city.
Thanks to Habib University and IEEE Industrial Electronics Society for recognizing and supporting this work.
The research work is supported through HEC Pakistan NRPU Research Grant.

Have you ever noticed, our import items are technically us importing water ?
