Turning Pakistan’s Sewage into Safe Water
Most wastewater in Pakistan flows untreated into drains, fields and rivers. MAKES designs affordable, low-energy treatment — from reed beds to hybrid plants — that cleans it close to the source and puts it back to good use.
A National Problem, Solved Locally
Only a small fraction of the country’s sewage ever reaches a treatment plant. The rest contaminates groundwater, spreads disease and poisons farmland. Centralised mega-plants are expensive, power-hungry and slow to build — so we take a different route: compact, decentralised systems that treat wastewater where it arises, often using constructed wetlands and other nature based solutions as the engine.
Treatment Tailored to the Source
Towns & Housing Schemes
Community-scale sewage treatment for colonies, villages and new developments off the main grid.
Industry & Effluent
Tailored treatment for factory effluent so discharge meets environmental limits without crippling costs.
Institutions & Campuses
Hospitals, schools, military bases and offices that need reliable on-site treatment and water reuse.
Greywater & Reuse
Capturing wash and kitchen water for irrigation — stretching every scarce litre further.
Three Choices That Set Our Work Apart
Decentralised by design
Rather than pumping sewage for miles to a single mega-plant, we treat it close to where it is produced. Shorter pipes, lower energy, fewer points of failure.
Nature first, machinery only where needed
We reach for reed beds and wetlands before pumps and blowers, adding mechanical steps only when load or land truly demands them.
Reuse built in
Treated water is an asset, not a waste. Our designs aim to return it to irrigation, landscaping or process use wherever regulations allow.
Part of a Bigger Picture
Clean water is only the start. Treated effluent can recharge wetlands, green a city or buffer a flood — which is why our treatment work connects to ecosystem restoration and climate adaptation. Explore the full breadth of our environmental services.
