CodeBlue conference is an initiative which hopes to come closer to resolve water crisis in Pakistan through science, technology and engineering. The conference encompasses policy/decision makers and communities, businesses and citizens collaborate and explore indigenous solutions to water crisis in Pakistan.

This conference took place on the 9th of March 2019, and was divided into two halves. The first half consisted of a series of talks and panel discussions which included some big names such as Dr. Erum Sattar, Saud Hashmi, Taj Haider and Dr. Farooq Sattar. These talks covered a variety of topics including management of River Indus, the myth about water shortage and technical solutions for efficiency. The panel discussion aimed to give an administration perspective and was met with participation from the audience, making it quite an exciting segment.

The second half consisted of a “breakout session”, where participants could divide themselves according to the group discussions: Water Infrastructure and Technology, Urban Water Management and Distribution, Waste Water Management and Creating Awareness on Conservation. These groups contained experts and participants who tended to their respective matters throughout the breakout session. Participants who brought their prototypes also got to showcase them in this session. The final part consisted of a panel discussion between representatives of each group as a conclusion.
