Transforming Water Sustainability in Pakistan’s High-Risk Regions with Clearlife Technologies
Transforming Water Sustainability in Pakistan’s High-Risk Regions with Clearlife Technologies
Pakistan faces a significant water crisis, placing it among the top 17 countries with extremely high-water risk. Over 80% of the population experiences severe water scarcity annually, a stark consequence of agricultural demands consuming 94% of annual water withdrawals.
In response to this pressing challenge, Amman Khokhar, with expertise in wastewater treatment, and Fraz Nayyar, an engineer, have launched Clearlife Technologies. Their innovative prototype, a floating device adorned with solar panels purifies water as it moves forward, leaving cleaner water behind. More than a filtration unit, Clearlife Technologies represents a leap towards sustainability.
“At NIBGI, I saw various wastewater treatment technologies and envisioned combining them into a compact, integrated structure,” shared Amman, reflecting on the inspiration behind their venture.
Unlike traditional water treatment plants that are energy-intensive and space-consuming, Clearlife Technologies offers a portable, eco-friendly alternative. Its dual-purpose design not only filters water but also repurposes byproducts as fertilizer, enriching ecosystems in the process.
Overcoming initial recruitment hurdles through strategic networking, Amman and Fraz assembled a skilled team to develop and deploy their prototype in fishponds for real-world testing and validation.
Clearlife Technologie’s vision doesn’t stop at clean water for communities. They’re setting their sights on industrial sectors, determined to tackle even tougher water contamination challenges. However, completing experimental trials remains a critical hurdle. Partnering with NIC Faisalabad has been pivotal, connecting them with the expertise and resources essential for advancing their mission.
