The Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR) has successfully completed a capacity-building training program under the project “Enhancing Water Quality System to Achieve SDG 6 in Pakistan.”
The program, conducted here at the National Capacity Building Institute (NCBI) aimed at strengthening the skills of professionals working in water supply services, such as the Public Health Engineering Department, in monitoring and improving water quality, said a press release issued here Saturday. The one-year training program focused on enhancing participants’ ability to test and treat water effectively, ensuring accurate data collection for reporting progress on Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), which focuses on clean water and sanitation for all.
