From December 8 to 19, 2025, K-water Academy successfully concluded the third and final batch of the Training on Smart Water Management Options for the City of Rawalpindi, Pakistan, marking the completion of this invitational training program under the ongoing Technical Assistance (TA) project in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

Building on the strong foundation established during the first and second batches, the final program focused on consolidating knowledge, deepening practical application, and reinforcing strategic perspectives for smart urban water management. Participants engaged in an intensive and practice-oriented curriculum designed to translate learning into actionable insights for implementation in Rawalpindi.

The training covered advanced applications of smart water network management, non-revenue water (NRW) reduction strategies, and pipeline asset management, complemented by hands-on exercises, case studies, and field visits to K-water facilities. Through interactive workshops and expert-led discussions, participants had the opportunity to reflect on lessons learned across all three batches, address operational challenges, and explore sustainable solutions tailored to local conditions.

The successful completion of the third batch represents a culminating milestone of this capacity-building initiative, equipping water sector professionals with enhanced technical and managerial competencies to support sustainable urban water services in Rawalpindi. It also underscores the strength of collaboration among K-water Academy, ADB, and Pakistani water institutions, and reaffirms K-water’s commitment to advancing global water sustainability through long-term international partnership and knowledge sharing.
