2. 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 a
sewerage 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 an
economic 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-remediation
Bio-remediation is a naturally occurring
phenomenon in which different plant species
accumulate heavy metals, inorganic, toxic and
hazardous substances from water and soil and reclaim
them for reuse. Similarly there are many kinds of microbial
strains including aerobic and anaerobic, which degrade the organic
pollutants into non-toxic smaller fractions. These microbes also accumulate certain heavy metals including
chromium, mercury, lead, zinc etc. Certain microbes produce such extracellular enzymes which chelate the
heavy metals and due to sedimentation of chelates along with the removal of various other pollutants the waste
water becomes t for irrigation. This entire phenomenon is known as biodegradation. The application of
biodegradation for waste water treatment and soil reclamation is called bioremediation.
The role of Microbial Degradation, Aquatic Plants & Constructed Wetlands
Interest in the microbial bio-degradation of pollutants has been intensied 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 nature’s own key players.
 using local microbial strains,
aquatic plants and biological
engineering tools to treat used-
water, organic matter
 usually the soil under stagnating
wastewater can be used for
retention ponds
 for the larger national interest,
additional lands can also be
used for constructing bio-
remediation treatment facilities
 bio-remediation treatment
facilities can easily be
transformed into national water
parks with minimum investment
 NIB team with its corporate and
development partners is ready
to apply
 the technology is simplified
 the co-operation of concerned
stakeholders can help to reduce
damages to human health & eco
systems
Why Bio-remediation....

4. 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 nature’s 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 restored
for 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,
