The garden is well known in twin cities of

Islamabad and Rawalpindi for its

beautiful Rose and Jasmine varieties.It is

a nice and clean place to walk and relax.

It is away from city pollution and has a

rich landscape where you can have a nice

family gathering.

This 20,360 sq. meters garden has 250

different varieties of roses in addition to

dozen types of Jasmines. It's very popular

spot among residents to relax. Springs

and autumn ower shows are arranged

here by Horticultural Society of Pakistan

in association with Capital Development

Authority every year. There is also the

Tourist Camping Site near this park.

The garden serves as source of energy

and refreshment for the visitors and it

can also play a vital role to educate

people about the upcoming challenges of

climate change and human activities

impact on eco-systems. This garden is

situated in the middle of the city and the

people from all income groups can have

easy access to the garden and can have

time. It is really important to keep this

garden clean and authentically beautiful

so that the public place dedicated for the

purpose should contribute accordingly.

A natural meandering stream originating

somewhere near the foot of Margalla hills

making its way through F-6 and G-6

sectors enters into R&J garden on its

journey to Korang River. This is the

natural course of the stream for carrying

rain and storm water. However, with the

passage of time the stream became asewerage drain for F-6, G-6 and nearby

settlements (markets, etc) for carrying 3-

4 cusec grey &black water to the River.

Open sewage drain creates an ugly look

and bad odor to otherwise fresh air of the

garden. This was an unfortunate situation

for the citizens of Islamabad and visitors

of the R&J Garden.

One part of the garden mostly remain

with out the visitors presence or walk

because of the smell and unpleasant look

of the drain and area. It is directly aneconomic loss or under utilization of the

public place in middle of the city. It

needs proper attention for its best

utilization

PARC management facilitated CDA

relevant authorities to demonstrate and

elaborate the concept of bio-remediaiotn

for treatment of wastewater, which was

developed by one of its institutes,

National Institute of Bio-remedition NIB

at NARC.

NIB applied the bio-remediation

technique to treat the local campus of

NARC's wastewater and also created such

facility to treat the wastewater of Chak

Shahzad. At this bio-remediaiotn facility

treates about one cusec of wastewater

from the sector Chak Shezad and it is

being utilized it at NARC for irrigation

purposes.

NIB of NARC took the task and with CDA

started ground work in the mid of 2014 to

establish a bio-remediation wastewater

treatment facility to manage the

wastewater entering into R&J Garden.

The Core funding of the project was

provided by Ministry of Food Security and

Research, through RADP, PARC. This

funding was only for the establishment of

bio-remediation facility to treat

wastewater for irrigation. For the

establishment of FSCC&B Theme Park the

resources are being generated from

private and development sector

organizations and these already played

their role in the project like NBS, SMET

UFC, JB, SE, and Fazal Steel.

Bio-remediationBio-remediation is a naturally occurringphenomenon in which different plant species

accumulate heavy metals, inorganic, toxic andhazardous substances from water and soil and reclaimthem for reuse. Similarly there are many kinds of microbialstrains including aerobic and anaerobic, which degrade the organicpollutants into non-toxic smaller fractions. These microbes also accumulate certain heavy metals includingchromium, mercury, lead, zinc etc. Certain microbes produce such extracellular enzymes which chelate theheavy metals and due to sedimentation of chelates along with the removal of various other pollutants the wastewater becomes t for irrigation. This entire phenomenon is known as biodegradation. The application ofbiodegradation for waste water treatment and soil reclamation is called bioremediation.

The role of Microbial Degradation, Aquatic Plants &Constructed WetlandsInterest in the microbial bio-degradation of pollutants has been intensied in recent years as humanity strives to

nd sustainable ways to clean up contaminated environments. These bio-remediation and bio-transformation

methods endeavour to harness the astonishing, naturally occurring, ability of microbial xenobiotic metabolism

to degrade, transform or accumulate a huge range of compounds including hydrocarbons (e.g.oil),

polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heterocyclic compounds (such as pyridine

or quinoline), pharmaceutical substances, radio nuclides and metals.

The elimination of a wide range of pollutants and wastes from the environment is an absolute requirement to

promote a sustainable development of our society with low environmental impact. Biological processes play a

major role with the application of microbial degradation, aquatic plants and constructed wetlands for the

removal of contaminants and they take advantage of the astonishing catabolic versatility of environment

maintaining natures own key players.

using local microbial strains,aquatic plants and biologicalengineering tools to treat used-

water, organic matter usually the soil under stagnating

wastewater can be used forretention ponds

for the larger national interest,additional lands can also beused for constructing bio-remediation treatment facilities

bio-remediation treatmentfacilities can easily betransformed into national waterparks with minimum investment

Public parks and gardens are the simplest

elements of human settlements, they offer the

closest connection to nature, rich or poor,

every body can enjoy and learn to live

according to natures ways. And they help to

reduce all types stresses through healthy

environment.

Rose and Jasmine is one of the oldest Garden

in Islamabad, it serves many visitors to have

good time over here. The garden faces the

contamination of sewage water in its natural

drain of rain water. The sewage water not

only damages its scenic beauty but also the

odor of sewerage water overcomes the

fragrance of Rose and Jasmine owers.

It is great moment for NIB team to share its

contribution to provide biological solution for

the treatment of wastewater for irrigation.

This innovative and environment friendly

solution is in its nal completion stages, the

sewage water channel is separated from the

rain water drain for the biological treatment.

The natural channel of rain water is restoredfor its natural way to move through the forest

area of Shakar Parian.

NIB team is thankful to all contributors from

private sector and authorities from PARC,

NARC and CDA for their support to nalize the

technical phase of the bio-remediation

process.

NIB determines to nalize ornamental work of

the bio-remediaion facility and Food Security,

(MNSFR) and operates in close collaboration with other federal provincial

institutions in the country to provide science based solutions to agriculture

of Pakistan through its statutory functions. The overall decision--making

body of PARC is its Board of Governors (BOG), responsible for the control,

direction and superintendence of the affairs of PARC. At present, PARC has

ve divisions; four technical divisions: Plant Sciences, Animal Sciences,

Social Sciences, Natural Resources, and one services divisions: Finance.

PARC has ten Research Establishments through out the country whereresearch is conducted according to the agricultural ecological needs of

various regions. PARC as the focal of agricultural research is functioning

and will continue to function as a conduit for exchange of knowledge,

skills and technical materials between provincial, federal and international

research to stimulate the progress of agricultural development.For more information:www.parc.gov.pk
