| Abstract | Industrial waste has been recognized as the major contamination of water resources and thus the environment. Advancement in the technology has immensely amplified the problem of industrial waste management. The environmental degradation resulting from uncontrolled release of untreated waste water along with other disposals has become a major problem in Pakistan. Tanneries, textile, petroleum, chemicals and heavy metals are some of the major polluting industries. The water contamination is the most hazardous in all types of pollution due to its direct impact on irrigation, land and marine life. In case of Karachi, seven major industrial zones have enveloped the city; They possess approximately 8000 large and small scale industrial units, which discharge large amount of their un-treated industrial effluent in to sewer drains, Malir and Lyari River to Arabian Sea. Only a small portion of this is being treated by some treatment plants below their capacity. The paper will discuss the relation between the industrial policies, Industrial pollution and its environmental impact, the contribution of local managing bodies in developing the standards of management of industrial effluent. Recommendations for policy measures to reduced environmental impacts and the possibilities of Waste water Treatment as an Industry is addressed in this paper. |
