**K-IV Water Project: Karachi’s Water Relief Anticipated by 2026**
The Senate standing committee on water resources received an update on Karachi’s crucial K-IV clean water supply project. Project Director K-IV, addressing the committee chaired by Senator Shahadat Awan, stated that the scheme is slated to deliver 260 million gallons per day (MGD) of water to the city.
Work on the project commenced in 2022, and the current completion target is June 2026. Chairman Wapda confirmed that approximately 50% of the project’s work is already finished. He stressed the importance of timely funding to ensure the project stays on schedule.
The K-IV project will bring the water to Karachi. However, Distribution within the city requires a separate mechanism, which hasn’t been built yet. Chairman Wapda indicated that this separate distributions system would take at least two to three years to implement and that the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board had yet not decided on it.
Committee member Humayun Mohmand drew a parallel, saying, “It is like, we have enough power generation but no proper system of its transmission.” The Committee Chairman suggested that the federal minister should discuss the matter with the Sindh government.
Beyond the K-IV project, the Senate body also reviewed water-related projects for the upcoming financial year. The Secretary of Water Resources revealed that 33 new projects have been proposed in the water sector. Among these, a feasibility study for the Sindh Barrage is expected to begin in the next financial year.
