The future of Karachi lies in seawater desalination. The city needs a pilot desalination/reverse osmosis plant using waste-to-energy technology that can be scaled up, apart from two other desalination plants. Sewage can be recycled and treated for use.

The party deserves appreciation for coming up with a list of proposed solutions to the city’s worsening civic conditions, but experts' critique that the proposals are not new and have failed in the past.
