Description
Summary:The objective of the research was to investigate/assess the water quality standardaccording to WHO because the study area of research was a canal distributary of 32 cusec dischargefor the period of 25 years up to 1972 and thereafter sewage remained flowing period for 50 years. In2021 PHE Department converted to 42” Ø sewer pipe and polluted water Nallah up to Noshehra Roadand constructed a metaled road. The seepage water samples were collected and tested by the NoshehraRoad Laboratory. Accordingly, the results identified the water-borne diseases, metals, chemical,biological, fecal, and E-coli bacteria. It was therefore necessary to research the causes of diseases forthe safety of health care. Drinking water remedial measures were asked of Health Deptt and otherconcerned Authorities related to Gujranwala City. The quality of water was assessed by comparingWHO standards. The seepage water contaminated was obtained through hand pumps and dug wellsbefore Municipal water distribution through overhead reservoirs (OHR) duly chlorinated by PublicHealth Engg Department now WASA and the Municipal Corporation. There are certain industries,falling untreated effluents in drains, causing cancer and other fatal diseases, through agricultural foods,due to sullage water irrigating the vegetables, in the vicinity of subrubs area of the city.
