The Phuleli canal and lined channel are two major canals that provide water for agriculture, industries and domestic use to the districts of Tando Muhammad Khan, Badin and Thatta.

There are dozens of the drainage outlets from entire Hyderabad city in 15-20 Km length discharging untreated sewage, garbage, industrial waste matter, laundry factories sewage, cattle excreta from hundreds of the cattle farms established on canal side slaughterhouses waste and hospitals waste directly disposed off into the Phuleli canal. It is pity that beautiful canals of Sindh are converted to dirty drains and their water has become unhealthy for the use of human beings and animals. Further that all hospital waste, discharge from 40 main sewage lines of Hyderabad city sewage from 1000 Dhobi Ghaats, waste matter from 500 cattle farms located on both sides of canal, 12 plastic factories sewage from Tando Muhammad Khan, Matli, Talhar towns and dozens of villages is deposited into these irrigation canals.

Drainage System of Phuleli Canal:

Water is an essential, without a doubt a flat out necessity for the survival of human race. A sufficient supply of good quality safe water is basic for the advancement of general wellbeing. Water for residential utilize ought to be clear, lackluster, scent less, lovely to drink, sensibly cool and free from polluting influences unsafe to wellbeing. Pakistan is honored with gigantic surface and groundwater assets.

Household sewage contains natural and inorganic materials, for example, phosphates and nitrates. Natural materials are sustenance and vegetable waste, though inorganic materials originate from cleansers and cleansers. Generally individuals dump the family squanders in the close-by water source, which prompts water contamination. A portion of the contaminations from modern source incorporate lead, mercury, asbestos, nitrates, phosphates, oils, and so forth.

The Phuleli Canal goes through the edge of Hyderabad city, alongside the Pinyari Canal to its right side. Numerous people have constructed their homes along its bank side. Besides, it is likewise a wellspring of direct transfer for untreated local and mechanical wastewater and strong waste. The utilization of water has expanded, and with its expansion, the volume of wastewater has likewise expanded. This is making genuine designing and ecological dangers for the general population of Hyderabad.

The wastewater of Pretabad is released into the trench through pumping station which has been developed by HDA/Wasa without considering that waterway water is being utilized for drinking reason by the neighborhood individuals at downstream of this channel.Untreated sewage of Hyderabad city is the key wellspring of expanding contamination through release of sewage water into Phuleli channel making defilement and perils the strength of neighborhood individuals and water system framework. This trench gives water to a populace of more than two million of three major locales in bring down Sindh. Sewage water from phuleli waterway was examined from various station focuses and broke down for pH, electrical conductivity (EC), add up to disintegrated strong (TDS) deposits, chlorides, hardness, alkalinity, broke up oxygen (DO), and distinctive cations like sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K) to watch the impact of civil release upon the nature of water utilized for water system reason and furthermore to drink reason.

This waterway water defiled with pathogens and hurtful poisonous chemicals from effluents is risky to both the environment and all life shapes whose survival relies upon it.

Those living in the downstream ranges, including Tando Mohammad Khan and Badin, are likewise confronting genuine wellbeing and ecological concerns. There are different areas where untreated wastewater is tossed specifically into the Phuleli Canal. The main slaughterhouse of Hyderabad is situated on the bank of the Phuleli Canal in the region of Pretabad and LalooLashari town wherein about more than 1,000 creatures are being butchered each day.

The solid waste which is dumped into the canal water is the only reason that is creating serious poisons besides this poultry farms have also established and they are also dumping their solid waste blood and dead chickens into the same canalwater.  The channel water is the main wellspring of drinking water for Badin in light of the fact that the groundwater is saline. It is qualified to specify that the wastewater and strong misuse of Hyderabad being discarded into the waterway may cause genuine sicknesses and results for the general population and additionally for widely varied vegetation. The region metropolitan organization, Hyderabad, HDA and Wasa must make vital move and stop the dumping of strong waste and effluents into the freshwater waterway. Wild homesteads and slaughterhouses ought to be moved to steers province.

Appropriateness of groundwater for drinking, water system and mechanical purposes relies on its quality Groundwater contamination is typically followed back to four principle birthplaces viz .mechanical, household, horticultural and over misuse of groundwater which makes medical issues.

All the enormous urban areas of the nation are looking of safe transfer of wastewater. There is no any treatment plant where the sewerage could be dealt with and securely arranged off. The city Hyderabad, the second biggest city of Sindh territory, is additionally confronting this issue, where the wastewater is being arranged off by methods for directing into Phuleli or Pinyarichannels with no treatment Different daily papers likewise announced unsafe lethal impacts on people, creatures, soil and plants, Daily Dawn detailed that exceptionally poisonous run-off from plastic manufacturing plants, illicit cows pens and butcher houses was being discharged in Phuleli waterway and the general population of Badin and Tando Mohammad Khan regions are constrained to utilize it for drinking reason. Hence the utilization of contaminated trench water of Phuleli channel has put lives of a large number of individuals in danger. Groundwater defilement can be related with various sources, for example, drainage of agrochemicals, sewage and modern wastewater. Drainage from unlined sewage and mechanical wastewater channel makes an incredible risk groundwater quality  Groundwater is in nature renewed by surface water from precipitation, streams and waterways. The length of Phuleli channel is around 153 km with release limit of 14859 cusecs. Its charge range is around 0.93 million sections of land. In Pakistan, rainstorm season begin in summer from July to September which contributes around 70% of the aggregate yearly precipitation. Around 30% of aggregate rain fall happen in winter while spring and harvest time are dry seasons.Around 220,000 cubic meters of waste water is additionally discharged every day in the trench from numerous sewerage directing stations, as per the Sindh Environment Protection Authority (Sepa).

Now, Water quality observing ought to be done consistently and water filtration plants ought to be introduced at appropriate spots for giving safe drinking water to the occupants in the summon range of Phuleli Canal.
