The meeting discussed the salient features and importance of pure Bara drinking water in detailed. A four members committee was constituted in the meeting to prepare concept note on revival of the oldest drinking water scheme. The committee would prepare a preliminary study, feasibility plan of the defunct Bara drinking water scheme in consultation with the line department and also overview the financial implications of the scheme.
It is pertinent to mention here that Governor Khyber Shah Farman has taken serious notice of the defunct Bara drinking water scheme in the wake of gradually decreasing water table in the provincial capital and it’s contamination. The Governor also noticed that Bara Water scheme was very useful and cost effective scheme as it would not require any tube well or machinery to pull or supply water to the city due to Bara River’s gravity level thus it would help save huge amount of energy.
