Water Pollution: this
is a major problem in Pakistan. There are many sources of water
pollution in Pakistan. Most of them are found in Karachi as it is an
area of industries. Although it is a government policy to filter the
industrial water and then release it into the sea many industries here
are dumping contaminated water in seas thereby increasing the threat of
extinction of
marine life as well as polluting the water. Almost the whole of city’s
sewerage is dumped into rivers and the sea. As a result of this Karachi
is facing many problems in the access of clean water and most parts of
the city are still without water. Even in my home we get 2 small tankers
weekly as there is no water in the supply. The oil spill incident has
increased the amount of pollution in the sea as well as has caused most
of the beaches to be polluted. It is said that the oil spill disaster
from Tasman Spirit has killed hundreds and thousands of fishes as well
as destroyed much of the marine life. It has also caused eye infections
and respiratory problems to those living near the sea. Further leakages
in pipelines have polluted the clean water which we have so little of
