Karachi: The repairs on the Hub Canal have been completed, allowing for the resumption of 100 million gallons of water supply per day to the city — a news source reported. The canal, which transports water from Hub Dam to Karachi, had earlier been damaged due to the recent bout of monsoon rains.
After the relevant repairs had been completed, the Provincial Minister of Sindh for Local Government, Forests and Religious Affairs praised the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB) for its quick action.
According to the details available, the water levels in the Hub Dam have reached 329.5 feet after the recent rains, and it is expected to significantly add to the city’s water supply. However, the damage to Hub Canal meant that the supply from Hub Dam had to be stopped.
The operation to repair the canal was launched under the leadership of the KWSB Managing Director, and the water supply had been resumed within a short period of time after the repairs had been completed.
