Pakistan's Swat River fouled by untreated waste, dumping

Rubbish, untreated waste poisons Swat River's waters and poses health risk to Hindu Kush villagers downstream.

The Swat River is a vital supply of water for Pakistan's northern region of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
But local authorities, residents and tourists have been dumping raw sewage and rubbish into its waters, affecting the environment and health of residents in the district.
Officials say they lack the funds to stop the problem from getting worse.

Abb Kushkol Phelao - Funds needed to clean own Potis.

 

[miafridi]

Very sad. Action must be taken to keep the water clean. Any money spent on keeping it clean is great investment considering the facts that it will save billions spent on health issues caused by contaminated water, and also it will keep the tourism industry flourishing if the beauty is intact.

Those rubbish are done by peoples like you not by locals .
they should start scaning for GANDAY-ZAHEN like yourself.

 

[Munawarkhan]

This is criminal negligence from KP govt. On one side when they talk about improving environment, issues like these cannot be ignored.

This is not the first time, garbage dumping into rivers has come into hightlight, we have seen multiple news articles and TV reports around this issue.

Let's hope that this gets pickedup again and gets fixed.

It does not need a lot of money, for turning this dumping site into a park.

Thats not true.

 

[esfru56]

PK Government must put heavy fine if someone throw garbage near the river, It not difficult to find place for landfill, only need vision .

 

[AhmadSaleem264]

Well if you turn a dumping ground into a park then you will need another dumping place so how is it going to solve the problem.
Secondly swat may not have that much funds but lahore who ate 90% of punjab budget also throws its waste water in ravi river and 90% go untreated
