Water Resources of the worldWater Resources of the world
Over the last century
• Human population has increased 3x
• Global water withdrawal has increased 7x
• Per capita water withdrawal has increased 4x

About one-sixth of the world’s people don't have easy access to safe water
Most water resources are owned by Government and are managed as publicly owned resources

The contribution of agricultural drainage to the overall contamination of the waterresources exists but is marginal compared to the industrial and domestic pollution.For example, in Sindh, the pollution of water due to irrigation is only 3.21% of the total Pollution (SOE 2005)

Phosphates and Nitrates
• Phosphates—mostly a result of sewage outflow and from Fertilizer, phosphate detergents
• Nitrates—sewage and fertilizers

• The combustion of coal leads to the release of
mercury in the atmosphere. This enters the rivers,
lakes and groundwater. This is very hazardous
for pregnant women and infants

Arsenic ToxicityArsenic Toxicity
• Investigations revealed the presence of excessive arsenic in many cities of Punjab(Multan, Sheikhupura, Lahore, Kasur, Gujranwala & Bahawalpur) Sindh (Dadu & Khairpur) provinces. • The concentration of arsenic was found to be 50ppb five times higher that the prescribed limit of 10 ppb by WHO.
(PCRWR)
•Arsenic contamination is also becoming a serious problem. • In Sindh and the Punjab, approximately 36% of the population is exposed to a level of contamination higher than 10ppb • 16% is exposed to contamination of 50ppb. (SOE 2005)

• The WHO reports that 25-30% of all hospital admissions are connected to water borne bacterial and parasitic conditions, with 60% of infant deaths caused by water infections.
• Small rural areas in Sindh do not receive adequately-treated water
• Of course, major cities, like Karachi, get contaminated water.

• As the runoff moves, it picks up and carries ways natural and human-made pollutants, finally depositing them into lakes, rivers, ground water etc
![Page 102: WATER POLLUTION IN PAKISTAN](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062300/55492995b4c905a54c8bd764/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
• Infiltration trenches, which are rock-filled trenches in which stormwater is stored in the voids of the stones, and then slowly filters back into groundwater;
• Downspout diversion programs (i.e., allowing domestic gutters to discharge to lawns or other unpaved areas instead of being connected to the sewers
• Permeable or porous pavements for roads and parking lots • Swales (i.e., grass depressions that catch runoff from
impermeable surfaces and slowly filter it back into groundwater)
• Wide filter or buffer strips of natural vegetation: grass or woodland, usually located between paved areas and the watercourse to slow flows and remove pollutants
• Infiltration basins that hold surface water, allowing it to infiltrate the soil gradually; and retention ponds or permanently wet ponds that retain surface runoff

• The Buffer Zone is that strip of vegetation located between developed land and a lake, stream
• Function as filters by reducing nitrogen from agricultural runoff by 68%
• Function to filter approx 80-85% phosphate
• Function to enhance infilteration of surface runoff

• Increased level of nitrogen and phosphorus, along with higher sediment loads, are the leading contributors to reduce water quality
• Soil Erosion can be controlled by using management practices like Conservation tillage, residue management, grassed waterways, terraces, conservation buffers, crop rotation and contour farming

• Dissolved Oxygen exist in very low concentrations
• If dissolved oxygen concentrations drop below 5ppm, fish will be unable to live for very long
• All clean water species such as trout or salmon will die well above this level and even low oxygen fish such as catfish and carp will be at risk below 5ppm

• Water pollution can be measured without using expensive equipment by simply counting the number of animals living in a stream
• If, all of a sudden, all the fish leave a stream then it might be a sign that there is some pollution in water
• Mayfly are a very good indicator of water quality. They can only survive in the cleanest conditions
• If a site has population of “sewage worms” or tubificids, this suggests that water quality has been degraded by input of sewage
