Comparison Study of Water of Manchhar Lake with Drinking Water Quality Standard of World Health Organization
Summary
This study measured several water quality parameters in Manchhar Lake, Pakistan's largest freshwater lake, and compared them to WHO drinking water standards, finding that industrial wastewater discharge is degrading the lake's water quality. The study is focused on water quality monitoring rather than microplastics.
Manchar Lake is the largest fresh water lake in Pakistan, which is degrading day by day due to effluents of various industrial sectors. This simple study was carried out to assess the possible changes in water of lake due to waste water discharge from industrial sectors, the analysis was carried out at Environmental Analytical Laboratory in the Department of Chemistry, University of Sindh Jamshoro and parameters were compared with water quality standards of world health organization. The analysis include the determination of pH, Electric Conductivity (EC), Salinity, TDS (Total dissolved solids), Alkalinity, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Nitrate, Chlorides and total hardness were performed

Water Quality Assessment and Monitoring in Pakistan: A Comprehensive Review
This comprehensive review examines water quality issues across Pakistan, including contamination from industrial discharge, agricultural runoff, and emerging pollutants like microplastics. The review found that water treatment infrastructure in many areas is inadequate, leaving large populations exposed to contaminated water. While focused on Pakistan, the findings illustrate how developing countries face compounding water quality challenges that include growing microplastic pollution.
Identification of Aquatic Macro-invertebrates and Determination of E. coli and Heavy Metals in Rawal Lake, Pakistan
Researchers assessed water quality in Rawal Lake, Pakistan using aquatic macro-invertebrates as bioindicators alongside E. coli and heavy metal analysis, collecting samples from three sites and finding contamination levels indicative of anthropogenic pollution threatening this drinking water source for Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
Plastic driven pollution in Pakistan: the first evidence of environmental exposure to microplastic in sediments and water of Rawal Lake
This study provides the first evidence of microplastic contamination in a freshwater body in Pakistan, examining surface water and sediments of Rawal Lake near Islamabad. Researchers found microplastics in both water and sediment samples, with fibers and fragments being the most common types, composed primarily of polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyester. The study suggests that high population density, improper waste disposal, and recreational activities are the main drivers of contamination.
