Status of Water Supply Schemes Total Number and Nature of Water Supply Schemes Total No. 3126 Nature of schemes A- on the basis of source i- Tube well 2475 ii- Surface water 268 iii- Springs 383 B- on the basis of power source i- Electricity 1900 ii- Diesel 813 iii-Gravity 383 iv-Solar System 30 Run by Department 1013 (Functional 876, Non Functional 137) Run by Community 2113 (Functional 1610, Non Functional 503)

7. Reasons for Non functioning of Water Supply Schemes  Perpetual depletion of underground water table.  Climate change leading to much reduced rains and snow falls.  High/un affordable energy charges.  Poverty contributing to non payment of huge electricity bills of schemes by communities.  Insufficient funding for rehabilitation of abandoned water supply schemes.  Inadequate/unsustainable billing and collection system resulting in low revenue generation.  Lack of political will/motivation for ownership of water supply schemes.  Tribal disputes and rivalry.  Lack of well design polices and its poor Enforcement.  Insufficient legislation.  Lack of awareness regarding limited use of water.

8. ACHIEVEMENTS ACHIEVEMENTS The number of Water Supply Schemes from 285 at the time of creation of PHE, department in 1987, has increased to 3126 till June 2014 by successful implementation of development programmes i.e PSDP, SAP-I,SAP-II, Drought Programme and Chief Minister and Governor’s Special Fund. Despite occurrence of natural disasters particularly repeated and prolong drought facilitating 69% population of the Province with potable Drinking Water. Hope fully 100% population shall have access to potable Drinking Water before 2025. Running and Maintenance of more than 1000 water supply schemes located in far flung areas of the Province through lengthy pipe network laid inter and intra districts.

9. ACHIEVEMENTS ACHIEVEMENTS Maintaining supply of potable water during natural disasters thus discarding prevalence of water borne diseases. Solving chronic issue of potable water for the inhabitants of Sui town, which ultimately would become more sustainable after its linking with pat feeder canal. Managing supply of potable water to strategically important town of Gawadar through Akra Kaur Dam and alternate sources like Sunstar well field, Karawat desalination plant and further linking it with Sawar dam situated at a distance of 70 Km from Gawadar. Keeping in view the depleting ground water resource the PHED with its timely pursuance and follow up has succeeded in reflection of schemes pertaining to construction of small dams in PSDP 2014-15.

Major Projects (Ongoing) Name of ProjectProgrammeCost in (M) Talking Points Water Supply Scheme for Sui TownProvincial PSDP & PPL 457.830The Sui Town WSS is being implemented jointly by GOB & PPL with share of 75% & 25 % respectively (GOB share = Rs.347.890 & PPL share Rs.109.940 ). Work on this project is in progress With Physical Progress 65% & Financial 63% Kachhi Plain Water Supply Project (Phase-II). Provincial PSDP 1700.00The work on Phase-I of project completed during 2010. Where as In Phase -II supply of water to Bhag, Tangoti, Chalgari, in the North west; Chatter, Haji Shaher, Noshero and other villages in the North and Lehri town in the North East in Nasirabad and Kachhi districts has been proposed with a cost of Rs.1700.00 million which has been reflected in PSDP 2014-15. Water Filtration Plants in Gawader and Lasbela Districts Provincial PSDP 100.00Gwadar & Lasbela Districts are deficient with the sweet water. The main town is being supplied through surface water/Dam whereas the small dwellings are deprived with the sweet water. Hence a project of water filtration plants has been reflected in PSDP 2013-14 under which 12 reverse Osmoses plants will be installed, 7 in Gwadar & 5 in Lasbela. Construction of 30 gravity flow water supply schemes (Lasbela, Awranr, Pishin, K-Saifullah, Panjgur, K-Abdullah, Kalat, Kech, Ziarat, Dera Bugti, Chagai, Zhob and Khuzdar) --do--90.00Since the underground water in the province is depleting very fast, therefore the surface water in shape of spring/Karez where available is need to be tapped in order to facilitate the rural population. Hence the scheme has been reflected in PSDP 2014-15. Construction of 10 small Dams water supply schemes (Quetta, Noushki, Loralai, K-Saifullah, Lasbela, Kalat Panjgur and Musakhail) --do--500.00Alternate sources of water needs to be explored due to rapid depletion of under ground water in the Province. Thus construction of small storage dams is inevitable and reflected in PSDP 2014-15 at a cost of Rs.500.00 (M).

14. Major Projects (Ongoing) Name of ProjectProgrammeCost in (M)Talking Points Augmentation of 10 Township water supply schemes (K-Saifullah, Loralai, Sibi, Ziarat, Noushki, Pishin, Lasbela, Kalat, Panjgur and Kech) Provincial PSDP 100.00Infrastructure of Township water supply schemes specially pipes network being maintained by the department have become very old and needs to be augmented in order to avoid spread of water related diseases. Completion of 90 Incomplete water supply schemes Provincial PSDP 116.122After promulgation of 18 th amendment federally funded WSS had been transferred to the Province, but due to lack of funds the leftover components could not be completed on these schemes. Therefore the Provincial Cabinet has approved to complete these WSS from Provincial PSDP in order to provide the basic amenity of life to the people. Purchase of drilling bits and allied equipments --do--58.174The existing fleet of rigs has become 25 to 30 years old and does not fulfil the requirement if drilling tubewells upto depth of more than 1000 ft. In order to enhance the drilling capacity, the allied equipment and drilling bits have been reflected in the PSDP 2014- 15. Replacement of 100 outlived pumping machineries of various WSS --do--76.668Electric & diesel driven pumps have been installed on majority of WSS which have completed their lives and lost their efficiency due to repeated repair and needs to be replaced by new pumping machinery.
