PCRWR QUARTERLY REPORT-BOTTLED WATER QUALITY
INTRODUCTION Drinking water quality is deteriorating continually due to biological contamination from human
waste, chemical pollutants from industries and agricultural inputs. Piped water also gets
contaminated because pipes are laid very close to sewerage lines or open drains and cause
many serious water borne diseases. It was found that 45% of infant deaths have been
attributed to diarrhea and about 60% to overall infectious waterborne diseases in Pakistan.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 25-30% of the diseases are gastrointestinal in nature. The poor quality of drinking water has forced a large cross-section of
citizens to buy bottled water. As a consequence of this expanding market a mushroom
growth of bottled water industry in the country is witnessed during the last few years.
However, many of the mineral water companies were found selling contaminated water. To
monitor and improve the quality of bottled water, the government of Pakistan has designated
the PCRWR as focal point agency.
1. Ministry of Science & Technology informed PCRWR Vide U.O. No. 5(21)/2004-ATA-II
dated 17.10.2005 that the Cabinet in its meeting under the chairmanship of Prime
Minister directed Ministry of Science & Technology to undertake regular survey/samples
of bottled/mineral water at source of production, publicize the results on a quarterly basis
and follow up with punitive/legal action.
2. Ministry of Science & Technology has assigned the task of quality monitoring of bottled
water and publicize the results to PCRWR Vide U.O. No.1(1)/2005-Secy (MoST) dated
8.12.2005.
