The document discusses the industrial water usage and its pollution impact in Pakistan, highlighting that while industry uses only 2-3% of fresh water resources, it contributes significantly to pollution. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the water footprint in various sectors, particularly in the food and textile industries, and outlines water management solutions provided by Water Care Services. Key points include the need for efficient wastewater management, water conservation technologies, and the significance of water recycling and reuse in promoting sustainable development.

2. Industrial Usage of Water in Pakistan
 While industry consumes only 2-3% of fresh water resources of Pakistan, it
contributes a substantial amount of the pollution load in the fresh water
resources of Pakistan.
 Estimated wastewater discharges in the sea is 2-3 million cubic meters
(MCM) per day, of which 0.50-0.75 MCM per day is from industrial sources.
 Estimated inland wastewater discharges are 6-9 MCM per day, of which
industrial wastewater discharges are 2-3 MCM per day.

3. What is Water Footprint?
 The idea of a water footprint draws on the concept of virtual water which is a
measure of the volume of water used in the production process irrespective of
locations of water use. The water footprint of a process, product or a
geographically delineated area is the total water used (either evaporated or lost
from the system by means of incorporation into the product, or physical transfers)
measured along its whole value chain, and is often expressed as a volumetric
figure with spatial and temporal distribution.

4. Water Footprint in Food Industry in
Pakistan
 Approximately 75% of the global unsustainable blue WF is related to the
production of only six crops. These are wheat, rice, cotton, sugar cane, fodder, and
maize. Five countries account for about 70% of the unsustainable blue WF India,
China, the US, Pakistan, and Iran.

8. Water footprint of finished cotton textile
 Mekonnen and Hoekstra (2010) estimate that the blue water footprint of finished textile is 5,258 m³/t on average in
Pakistan, and 4,650 m³/t for Punjab, the difference primarily reflecting climatic differences between Punjab and the
Pakistan average

13. Industrial Water Management

14. Zero Liquid Discharge
 Zero liquid discharge can be defined as an efficient wastewater
management system that ensures no discharge of industrial wastewater
into the environment.

15. Electrocoagulation
 Electrocoagulation has been the focus of environmental sector for the last few years for the
treatment of different types of wastewater as it combines the benefits of electrochemistry,
coagulation and flotation.
