The project has the potential to help save 54 million litres of water annually. It is part of the company’s “Caring for Water” initiative which undertakes a collective approach to help address the water issue. The water saving will be made possible by the installation of a drip irrigation system as opposed to flood irrigation, which is the traditional way of irrigating fields in Pakistan. In order to save water in agriculture and improve productivity, Nestlé Pakistan has fostered partnerships with the government and farmers to promote drip irrigation.
