SUMMARY
The poor quality of drinking water has forced a large cross-section of citizens to buy
bottled water. 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 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 January-March, 2018 following is the brief overview

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.
