SUMMARY
The poor quality of drinking water has forced a large cross-section of citizens to buy bottled
water. However, mineral water companies not following standard bottling mesaures were
found selling contaminated water. To monitor and improve the quality of bottled water, the
government of Pakistan through Ministry of Science and Technology has designated the task
for quarterly monitoring of bottled/mineral water brands to PCRWR. According to the
monitoring report for the quarter October-December, 2019 following is the brief overview of
the findings.

 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 gastro-
intestinal 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 and 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.
