Abstract
Water, being the basic physiological necessity, is vital to all life on the earth. We use water not
only for drinking purposes but also for bathing, heating, agriculture, fishing, cooling and
industrial processes. In Pakistan water quality is deteriorating day by day due to increase in
population, and improper disposal of industrial waste water. Industries play a vital role in the
socio-economic developmentofan area. Industries also have some adverse impacts on the human
and physical environment in creating pollution problems due to mismanagement and lack ofpreplanning.
The untreated industrial effluents of Hayat Abad Industrial Estate (HIE) find their way
to fresh water bodies of NWFP. Due to adverse effects caused by water pollution, therefore it is
essential to give greater consideration to know the magnitude and strength of pollution in
industrial waste water.
