KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah convened a meeting on Friday to find a solution to the water woes of the city and vowed to complete K-IV water project. “In our system hardly 480 MGD water is available against a requirement of 1000 MGD,” he said and added it was something like half glass of water for some people. K-IV PROJECT:Feasibility study of K-IV project was carried out in 2007 at a cost of Rs25.5 billion. The PC-I for K-IV project (phase-I) for 130 MGD was prepared in 2007 and subsequently decided to carry out K-IV project in three phases, phase-I of 260 MGD, II of 260 and phase-III of 130 MGD. He said that out of 660 MGD water only five MGD water was the requirement of Bahria but a hue and cry has been made in such a way as if the entire project has been diverted there.
