ISLAMABAD:
To tackle surface and groundwater management and improve water governance, WWF-Pakistan has launched a city-wide partnership to promote open and constructive dialogue on priority water risks by mobilising resources.
To foster new partnerships for improved water governance, adopt locally-driven solutions and make measurable improvements towards sustainable water use and water stewardship in the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, under the Australia-Pakistan Water Security Initiative (APWASI).
Comprising a network of public, private and civil society actors, this platform will develop a common understanding of water risks in the twin cities, establish key priority water risks and pin down strategies to mitigate these risks, said a news release.
