LAHORE: Chinese model of water purification system should be replicated in Pakistan to reduce possibility of water borne diseases, which are troubling Pakistan’s economy up to $1.3 billion every year and are the biggest source of gastrointestinal infections. It was stated by Pak-China joint Chamber of Commerce President Wang Zihai and PCJCCI Senior Vice President Moazzam Ali Ghurki during a meeting with a Chinese delegation from HuaQi Tech Pvt Ltd. The delegation was headed by Jun Zheng, while other members included Su Shixun, Aibin Wang, Tong Ming, Wang Zhoumin and Wu Zhidan. The purpose of the delegates was to introduce Chinese water management system and purification technology to Pakistan. It was said in meeting that the replication of this system could overcome water and water disease crises in Pakistan particularly in poor cities that are not getting access to clean water.
Head of delegation, Jun Zheng said that China’s global fresh water resources are merely 6 percent whereas they have to provide clean drinking water to 20 percent of world population. He told that with the years of research and exploration, China has devised a water purification system that not only enabled China to meet its water need but also provided people with medically approved healthy water.
