Geomembranes Saving Pakistan's Water Supply

Last year, the Sukaarr Foundation Trust (SFT) launched a rainwater harvesting project in Pakistan’s Thar region, village of Diplo where the well had run dry. The SFT is a non-governmental organization. The project installed geomembrane-lined ponds to stop seepage. Roofs over the ponds and some underground tanks have helped assuage evaportation concerns. By the end of the monsoon season’s second shower, the village’s 700 residents had enough water for a year. This pilot project may be replicated across Pakistan soon.
