Comment from the contributor:

From The International News: The eutrophication of nearby lakes has made all the water in the Karachi area unfit to drink.

“ Of the 2,000 water samples collected over a period of 20 years from different parts of the city, none have proved to be fit for human consumption, revealed a detailed study conducted by Prof Dr Syed Jamil Hasan Kazmi and Ihsanullah Khattak of Department of Geography, University of Karachi (KU) ”
