3. Karachi Rain Emergency Plan 2013
Background:
• Karachi is situated in the south of Sindh on the coast of
Arabian sea. By virtue of geographic location it tends to
have a relatively mild climate with low levels of average
precipitation (approximately 250 mm per annum)
• Heavy rainfall received in a relatively short span of time,
caused flash floods.
• Synchronization of the peak floods with high tide in the
sea.

4. Karachi City and surrounding cris-crossed by many
nallah which generally flow from the North East to South
West. These nallahs act as natural drains and carry
storm water from Kithar Range down till sea. The major
rivers in the area are Malir River in the East and Lyari
River in the West. Which further have their own small
tributaries (nallahs) falling in to them. During the floods
of 2013, a new central nallah (Wateen Wari Nullah).
Which originates from Kirthar Range, was identified
which cause flooding in Karachi. Based on the
experience of floods of 2013, it can be generally
concluded that the drainage of Karachi is dependent on
three Rivers/ nallahs. Which may cause flooding, due to
overflow. These are Malir River in the East, Wateen
Wari Nallah in the Middle and Lyari River in the West.

6. IMPACT OF THE RAIN
• The traffic system cease to work
• Failure of electric power and other utility services
• Choked sewerage system causing difficulties to public,
and Katchi Abadies get submerged, resulting in epidemic
diseases like Gastroenteritis, Cholera, Malaria, Skin
Diseases and Conjunctivitis.
• Advertisement Boards/fall of trees – causing havoc and
loss of precious lives
• Contamination of drinking water
• Damage to Road infrastructure

7. OBJECTIVES
• In view of the previous experiences, it became imperative to
introduce updated Rain Emergency Plan with a systematic
approach for the safety of property and lives of Karachities and a
provision of better relief system to them
• To counter flood like situation in Lyari River, Malir River and Major
Nallahs like their link Nallahs during heavy rain fall
• For awareness information of concerned agencies/DMCs where
unauthorized settlement and inhabitants are this plan would help
and assets for them rescue and relief living in dangerous
environment of River Beds
• A coordinated/comprehensive/update Rain Emergency Plan is very
much needed to prevent and manage the pre, during and post rain
situation.

8. STORM WATER DRAINAGE SYSTEM
An overview of Storm Water Drainage System:
There are 13 major Nallahs running through out the city and most of
them discharging their affluent into the 2 major rivers i.e. Lyari and
Malir
Details of Nullahs:
• Soldier Bazar Nallah
• Farrier Nallah/Glass Tower Nallah

10. EXISTING SITUATION
• Most of the drains are:
- Heavily encroached and peoples are living un-
authorizedly on both sides of these Nallah
- Choked with silt and garbage
• Their water carrying capacity is at the minimum level
• Stagnation of rain water on road, lanes and streets due
to chockage and non cleaning of Nallahs, in case of rain
fall.

11. KARACHI DRAINAGE NETWORK
Storm water drains of Karachi have been converted into sewers over the
years and they lack the capacity to drain off rain water or any other runoff
water. Salient are as following :-

have been turned into sewer conduits for the city.
b. A rise in the number of slums and squatter settlements built on the
banks of the drains have made the issue further complicated.
c. Almost all 13x large and over 250x small storm water drains have
been encroached and these encroachments have clogged the Storm
water drains.
d. Few pictures of various nallahs, drains and rivers and related
important information which may help in understanding the overall the
state of drainage system in the city as given below:-
1. Sungal Nallah (White House Area North East Karachi.

45. KARACHI WATER & SEWERAGE BOARD
RAIN EMERGENCY PLAN - 2014
DETAILING RELIEF MEASURES FOR RAINY SEASON, MAY- 2014
• In view of likely rains, the KW&SB has chalked out a Comprehensive Rain Emergency / Contingency Plan to
combat any situation in the face of up-coming monsoon season. This is in clear understanding of the fact that
the operation, maintenance and cleaning of storm water drains and nallahs is a function of the KMC who have
already undertaken the work of desalting and cleaning of storm water drains / nallahs with appreciation of
following points:
Basic Rationale
• The sewerage system of city is insufficient for the intake of rainwater of the city.
• The solid waste, debris and garbage of roads flow into the sewerage lines while running with rainwater during
rains which causes sewage blockades.
• With cognisance of these facts, KW&SB has made efforts for smooth maintenance of city’s sewerage system

70. RAIN NALLAS
In city area, there are two main rain Nallas which drain out sullage water from half of the city area.
One runs from universal book depot towards Makrani Para Maki Shah Passing through tulsidas road.
Other one runs from Sattar Shah Pumping Station towards old Power house pumping station Tando Mir
Mehmood. Both Nallas run by natural gravity towards their end points.
1st Nalla is covered by rooftop from universal book depot up to sultan hotel but in some places slabs are
kept over the holes. By removing these slabs through sanitary workers the excavator can disilt this nalla only to
those points.
From Sultan Hotel onwards the whole Nalla in open except some places which are encroached by
shopkeepers. Here it is difficult to disilt the nalla. This Nala from universal book depot upto Tulsidas Pumping
station is about 10 feet in width through out. From here it passes beneath the overhead bridge and turns into
small drain, approximately 3 feet in width, emerging from market and passes beside the railway colony carrying its
sullage water towards Makrani Para in a pit. From there it is lifted by HDA pumping stations of Barkat Bhai /
Makrani Para.
The work of Desilting of this Nalla is being carried out again and again except those areas which are fully
covered with rooftop.
This will cost much more and will cause problems for shopkeeper and public. If sufficient amount is
allocated to Hyderabad Municipal Corporation for this purpose, the target can be achieved easily.
Continued

71. Other Nalla which runs from Sattar Shah Pumping Station Liaquat Colony towards Tando Yousuf Railway
Crossing is divided into 3 parts for draining out the sullage water.
1st part runs from Cattle Piri Shahab Cinema towards Sattar Shah pumping Station and drain out the
sullage water of UC # 10, 11, 4 and 3.
2nd part runs from Chori Para Ilyasabad towards Rishi Ghat Pumping Staiton. Here Nalla which is 10 or
12 feet in width turns into 2 to 3 feet drain and runs from sweet shop towards Rishi Ghat Pumping Station. The
Disilting of Ilyasabad Nalla has been carried out while the drain will be desilted by deploying main power of Nalla
Gang to do the need full.
3rd part of rain water Nalla runs from Nishat Plaza towards Tando Yousuf Railway Crossing. From Nishat
Plaza upto sitara mosque, the above said nalla is fully covered with rooftop except some places where the slabs
are kept to disilt but the problem will not be solved until & unless the roof top on the nalla is removed. Here there
is Asia’s largest chori market and the shopkeepers & nearby residents throw all their waste material and garbage
in it. Keeping in view, all there difficulties the disilting of work has been carried out where there is access of
machine.
From sitara mosque near capital plaza upto faqir ka pir culvert the Nallas is encroached by nearby
residents who have built their houses on nalla. Here the access of machine to disilt in difficult but some places are
there to do the need full.
From faqir ka pir culvert upto guru nagar culvert the same situation is there but there are some places
open to disilt and the work of disilting has been carried out.
From guru nagar culvert upto tando yousuf railway crossing, complete disilting work has been carried out.

72. LIAQUAT COLONY NALLAS
In Rainy Session as the Liaquat Colony is low lying area so in heavy rain the water accumulate in that
area due to poor drainage system. The reason for that is the encroachment over the Nallas by the nearby
residents & shopkeepers. Other factor is that proper Disilting of these Nallas have not been carried out
previously.
The length of these Nallas is approximately 1KM each from both sides and lies in UC # 10 & UC # 11
respectfully.
UC # 10, Nallas runs from Sakhi Pir culvert towards Pathan Hotel and the Nalla is divided into two parts
1st part runs from Din Mohammad Milk Diary towards Sakhi Pir Culvert and other part runs from Firdous
Jamia Mosque to Pathan Hotel near mutton slaughter House. In between this Nalla is totally covered by
mosque, shopkeepers and a petrol pump.
UC # 11 Nalla runs from Sakhi Pir Culvert towards Mutton slaughter house separating the Nalla into two
parts. 1st parts runs from Modern Plaza towards Mutton Slaughter House and other runs from Modern Plaza
towards Sakhir Pir Culvert.
The following action will be taken before Moonson season to rectify the problem.
1. Disilting campaign will be launched immediately on both Nalla (work in progress).
