Impact of Animal Waste on Waterfront Area of Phuleli Canal, Hyderabad Sindh

Abstract

Hyderabad is the second largest city of Sindh province by virtue of population and area; it is a historical city and lying on the Left Bank of River Indus. River Indus is main source of fresh/ surface water that supply water throughout the country for agriculture purposes. Hyderabad city, including its canals is heavily polluted due to deposition of untreated solid waste. Phuleli canal is one of the most serious affected areas because of lack in maintaining the surroundings of canal. There is no any dumpsite for animal waste or animal dung at nearby areas. However, increasing of animals is also increasing the waste and its disposal is the main challenge for the safety of environment. Therefore, the waste from canal surroundings should use as a fertilizers that helps in agriculture land, and convert it into green space that makes the canal and its surroundings clean and healthy. It will be beneficial for both canal and the environment.
