Description
Description | The Hub Canal project is a 22-kilometer-long canal designed to supply 100 million gallons of water per day to Karachi. The project is currently incomplete with 4 kilometers of the canal not built, and water is being diverted through the old canal route. The project is a joint construction by the Sindh Government and Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation, with WAH Construction Company as the main contractor, subcontracting to Ashraf D. Baloch & Company, and consultancy by Usman & Company. The project faces issues such as cost escalation, poor construction quality, and no significant increase in water supply due to filtration and pumping bottlenecks. |
