About us
The United States Pakistan Center for
Advanced Studies in Water (USPCAS-W) has
been established at the Mehran University of
Engineering and Technology (MUET) Jamshoro
under the Cooperative Agreement signed
with USAID on Dec. 12, 2014 for five years. The
USPCAS-W at MUET is a state of the art and
modern applied research center. The
USPCAS-W is a world class education and
applied research center dedicated to
resolving Pakistan’s water crises through
applied research, developing specialist
human resource and technologies;
academia-industry collaboration; and policy
formulation. The centers will generate costeffective and sustainable solutions to
Pakistan’s challenges related to water and
educating the next generation of scientists,
engineers, and policy makers through
innovative academic programs in water that
are focused on applied research to solve
Pakistan’s contemporary problems. The USAIDfunded Pakistan Center for Advanced Studies
in water at MUET is encouraging and
empowering women scientists and
researchers to actively participate in applied
research to solve Pakistan’s contemporary
problems. The USPCAS-W will receive
assistance in technical issues and capacity
building from U.S. Partner University (University
of Utah).

Five-day Workshop on
Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment
December-07 to December-11, 2015
Water is fundamental for the existence of life.
Today, both availability and quality of water are
serious global issues. Drinking water sources,
both surface and groundwater, are
contaminated with viral pollution, coliforms,
toxic metals and pesticides in most parts of the
country. Water contamination is a matter of
concern for all, and especially for the people in
developing countries like Pakistan.
Drinking water sources are poorly managed and
monitored all over the country. Various drinking
water quality parameters set by WHO are
frequently violated. Different studies conducted
in the past by independent researchers,
government and non-government organizations
have all come to the same conclusion
regarding the poor quality of drinking water
throughout Pakistan. So, it is important to
independently assess drinking water sources
before use.
Hence, realizing the need of time, the U.S.Pakistan Center for Advanced Studies in Water
at MUET Jamshoro with the support from
collaborating institute i.e., University of Utah and
funding from USAID has organized the workshop
on water quality, which aims to train water &
wastewater treatment professionals, chemists,
students, faculty members & health
professionals.
