'Chinese model of water purification system should be replicated'

"Chinese model of water purification system should be replicated in Pakistan to reduce possibility of water borne diseases, which are troubling Pakistan's economy up to $1.3 billion every year and are the biggest source of gastrointestinal infections."
Pak-China Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCJCCI) President Wang Zihai stated this while speaking at a meeting with the Chinese delegation from HuaQi Tech Pvt Limited headed by Jun Zheng. PCJCCI Vice President Moazzam Ali Ghurki and delegation members including Su Shixun, Aibin Wang, Tong Ming, Wang Zhoumin and Wu Zhidan were also present at the meeting. The delegation visited the chamber to introduce Chinese water management system and purification technology to Pakistan.
He said that replication of this system could overcome water and water disease crises in Pakistan particularly in poor cities that are not getting access to clean water. Water crisis is a global issue and now china wants to benefit world, since Pakistan faces such crisis particularly in Sindh and northern Punjab, that's why they want to introduce such plants to Pakistan.
Speaking on the occasion, Jun Zheng said the China's global fresh water resources are merely 6 percent whereas they have to provide clean drinking water to 20 percent of world population. With the years of research and exploration, China has devised a water purification system that not only enabled China to meet its water need but also provided people with medically approved healthy water, he said.
Halo Source technology has created a series of water filtration devices that rely on gravity but do not require electricity or plumbing to operate. "We have developed the products which kill deadly bacteria and viruses in parts of the developing world where access to water filtration is limited," Jun added. Aibin Wang said that about 80 percent of the water in Shanghai is obtained from the Huangpu River. The remaining 20 percent comes from the Yangtze River. Unfortunately, both are among the most polluted rivers in the world but with the help of latest technology of purification system we are combating this challenge and are willing to share it with the world, he added.
Moazzam Ali Ghurki said the existing framework of Pakistan's water purification system needs to be revolutionised and such technologies will bring innovation in water facilities. He asserted that safe water purification is really vital as water chlorination is causing more harm than tap water itself.
