The Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB) has been contracted by the Pakistani government to provide water for around 200 leather factories in the Korangi Inudstrial Area.

According to The Express Tribune, funding of 38.4 million rupees ($406,600) has been given to the board to ensure an effective water pipeline is established. When complete, the KWSB will provide three million gallons of water to the Korangi-based factories, which are believed to account for around 40% of the country’s total leather production. The factories generate around 10,000 direct and indirect jobs.
