IntroductionThe water crisis is a largely silent crisis in
Pakistan. Every year, some 1.4 million people in Pakistan, mostly children, die from diseases associated with inadequate water supply, sanitation and hygiene.
Water – A Key to Meeting the Millennium Development Goals in Pakistan
Water is life, for people and for the planet. It is essential to the well-being of humankind and a basic requirement for the healthy functioning of all the world’s ecosystems.
Water availability in Pakistan
WATER AVAILABILITY VS POPULATION GROWTH
Millennium Development GoalsGoal 1: Halve extreme poverty and hungerGoal 2: Achieve universal primary educationGoal 3: Promote gender equality and
empower womenGoal 4: Reduce child mortalityGoal 5: Improve maternal healthGoal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other
diseasesGoal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability
Water related diseasesAnaemiaArsenicosisAscariasisBotulismCampylobacteriosisCholeraCryptosporiodiosisCyanobacterial toxinsDengue
Key ChallengesThere are significant social, economic,
ecological, and capacity obstacles to meeting the MDG for water and sanitation. Overcoming them will require more effective water governance and bio-technology.
Role of Biotechnology in Water and Wastewater Technology
Environmental biotechnology “manages microbial communities to provide services to society.”
Two timely examples are the reduction of oxidized water contaminants and the production of methane, hydrogen, electricity, ethanol, and biodiesel

Two CategoriesThe Value of Reduced Products
The Revolution from Molecular Microbial Ecology

Success Removal of one or several of the oxidized
contaminants from drinking water or groundwater.
Removal of one or several of the oxidized contaminants from industrial wastewater.
Advanced N removal in wastewater treatment.

Bayesian methods for livelihood, water, and poverty analysis
Introduction This demonstrates methods for modeling
rural livelihood systems in water-poor communities as part of a larger goal of linking physical models to models of social and ecological systems
Methods Generating networks from field reports
Creating conditional probability tables
Results
Part of the model is shown as five submodels: Livelihood Assets, Land, Rice Production, Water Supply, and Finances
ConclusionIn order to alleviate the detrimental effects of
poor water management and a lack of adequate financial resources, we should get help from the technologies by using bio-informatics to save the life of poor people in our country.
