University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF) has developed an innovative technology ‘Flow Velocity Meter’ to curb water theft and help regulatory authorities to ensure transparency in water distribution. UAF Pro-Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Asif Tanveer inaugurated technology demonstration here on Friday at UA. He said that that Principal Investigator of the technology Dr Uzair Qamar developed the technology along with MS students Engineers Osama Tariq,
Akbar Ali, and Haseeba Munir. He said that per capita water availability had reduced so that we should take extra measures to fight the challenge. If an effective water strategy is not adopted, the per capita water availability can decrease.
Dr Uzair Qamar said that the water regulatory authorities as well as farming community can get benefit from technology. It is easy to move and it transmits water discharge value to analyze the water theft.
Meanwhile, the Water and Sanitation Agency Faisalabad (WASA) initiated measures to start implementation on master plan to increase service area from 225 km to 410 km in Faisalabad.
