Industrial Water Pollution
In K.P, 80,000 m3 of industrial effluents
containing a very high level of pollutants are
discharged every day into the river Kabul
In Karachi, Sindh Industrial Trading Estate (SITE) and
Korangi Industrial and Trading Estate (KITE), two of
the biggest industrial estates in Pakistan, there is no
effluent treatment plant and the waste containing
hazardous materials, heavy metals, oil etc. is

In Multan, a fertilizer factory discharges its waste untreated
to cultivated land causing death of livestock and increasing
health risk to humans. (WB-CWRAS Paper 8, 2005)
In Faisalabad, one of
the biggest industrial
