According to Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB) Managing Director (MD) Asadullah Khan, the water is enough for providing water to Karachi for six months. He said that the water reservoir can aid in overcoming the shortage of water in the western district. The MD said that 50 million gallons of water on a daily basis can be provided to the city. It is pertinent to mention that due to lack of rains, hub dam was unable to provide water to the metropolis since past few years.
