An official report reveals that Islamabad\u2019s urban areas currently require 120 million gallons per day (mgd) but only receive up to 80 mgd during peak supply, leaving a shortfall of 40 mgd. This gap in supply and demand has worsened with urban expansion and climate impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new CDA water wing will oversee 76,273 water connections across Islamabad, in addition to 33,109 groundwater bores that serve urban zones. With a workforce of 1,550 employees, the water wing still faces challenges, as 930 positions remain unfilled, impacting service delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/news\/cda-orders-resolution-of-bup-issues.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CDA chief orders resolution of BUP issues in CDA sectors to accelerate development<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interior ministry\u2019s summary noted that the demand for water in the federal capital is expected to increase, requiring centralized planning and effective resource management to address the shortfall and serve both urban residents and the 1.3 million people in Islamabad\u2019s suburban villages. The summary emphasized the importance of creating an integrated water and sewerage infrastructure master plan, which has been lacking in the capital\u2019s development strategies until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the transfer, the CDA will assume control of all relevant directorates, including water supply, bulk water management, sewage treatment plants, revenue, finance, and human resources, previously under the MCI\u2019s jurisdiction. While the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) and the Tehsil Municipal Administration (TMA) of Fatehjang have managed water resources in specific areas, this transition allows the CDA to take a leading role in a unified city-wide water management strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/news\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=100056&amp;action=edit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CDA launches \u2018My Islamabad\u2019 super app with 150+ services for citizens<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CDA anticipates that the reorganization will enhance service delivery and align with Islamabad\u2019s growing needs, supported by new revenue-generation measures and strategic infrastructure investments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent federal move, all water-related departments in Islamabad were officially transferred from the Metropolitan Corporation of Islamabad (MCI) to the Capital Development Authority (CDA).
