The company

CIS provides secure, smart and innovative solutions to global challenges.

The problem

Frequent floods in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab, Pakistan, are polluting groundwater, posing a fatal risk to infants and children from contaminated drinking water. Traditional water testing methods are slow, taking 17–24 hours, highlighting the urgent need for faster, automated testing and alert systems to enable timely interventions by water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) teams.

GSMA project

In November 2024, CIS received a GSMA grant to install IoT-based water quality chemical and bacterial testing units in vulnerable, flood[1]prone regions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab. The technology will reduce water quality testing time from 17–24 hours to 6–8 hours. This will minimise the exposure time to contaminated water for a community of 2.85 million people, thereby reducing the risk of waterborne disease outbreaks.
