The November 2023 EIA Report for the K-IV Project outlines the potential environmental and socio-economic effects of the Greater Karachi Bulk Water Supply Scheme. This major infrastructure initiative aims to deliver up to 260 million gallons of water per day from Keenjhar Lake to Karachi, addressing the city’s long-standing water shortage. The report provides in-depth analysis of the project’s design, route alignment, and site-specific characteristics, along with baseline data on air quality, water resources, land use, and biodiversity.

The EIA further details the expected impacts during both construction and operational phases, and proposes mitigation measures, monitoring plans, and stakeholder engagement strategies. It also aligns the project with relevant environmental laws, ensuring compliance with both national and international standards. This report serves as a critical planning tool for decision-makers, regulatory bodies, and community stakeholders committed to sustainable urban development in Karachi.
