Environmental Economics
A Case Study of Hudiara Drain
Introduction
• Water pollution is environmental degradation. It happens when toxic
materials, industrial waste, nuclear waste and other things like this
contaminate water sources like rivers, canals, oceans and ground water,
etc.
• Water pollution is a big problem that Pakistan is facing today.
• Most of life taking diseases are because of water pollution.
• Hudiara Drain is big source of water pollution in Lahore and River Ravi.
Water PollutionEnvironmental Economics
Sources
• Most of the industries are dumping their waste in hudiara drain.
• Hudiara drain end up in River Ravi which also contaminate it’s water.
• Many farmers are using hudiara drain’s water for watering their crops
and humans are consuming these toxic vegetables.
• Mammals are also consuming toxic water which contains industrial
waste, agricultural waste, and different toxic metals.
Water PollutionEnvironmental Economics
Sources
• Marine life is also very disturbed due to this pollutions.
• Due to this polluted water air is also polluted and it effects air
conditioners and households things like this.
• That is why water pollutions is a great reason of high economic cost.
Water PollutionEnvironmental Economics
Significance
• For the business purposes area of Defense road is one of the best
place to run factories, however due to Hudiara drain the water
pollution can effect the working of the employees and the working of
the business owner.
• As a policy maker, we can control the water pollution by stopping
industries from dumping their waste in the drainage. Moreover an
effective drainage system can be introduced that prevents people
from different types of diseases like Hepatitis, stomach disorders and
typhoid etc.
Water PollutionEnvironmental Economics
Data Analysis
• The research was conducted through questionnaires using google
forms.
• The main purpose of research was to check how much water
pollution of Hudiara drain is effecting the people living in it’s
surroundings.
• People that helped in solving these questionnaires were mostly
farmers, shopkeepers and some were the people who passes from
this area on daily bases.
Water PollutionEnvironmental Economics
Data Analysis
• From our survey all of the respondents know about water pollution.
• All of respondents were some how concerned about water pollution.
45% people said they are extremely concerned about it.
• All of them were aware of water pollution in their area. Which is a
great thing.
• Third questions tells that 55% of the water pollution is due to
industrial waste and rest was due to fertilizer pollutants, ponds and
bad drainage system.
Water PollutionEnvironmental Economics
Data Analysis
• Almost 75% people don’t know about the laws for water pollution.
• Next questions shows that 50% people thinks that water pollution is the main
cause of stomach problems in their area and 45% people said it is the main cause
of Hepatitis in their area.
• Almost 45% people said they are facing all kind of economic cost (Medical
expense, Health cost, Household repairing cost).
• On asking most of the people said they have to visit doctors at least one time in a
month and some said they have visit two time
• 55% people said they need to face the cost of almost 4k – 5k in a month and 25%
said they have to spent 5k – 10k amount as economic cost.
Water PollutionEnvironmental Economics
Policy
• The Hudiara Drain should be regularly taken care off.
• No waste material should be disposed off in the drain.
• Taxes should be imposed on the polluters.
• Fines should be imposed on the people polluting the Hudiara drain.
• The cattle should not be allowed in the drain for cleaning purpose.
• The drain should be covered to refrain people from polluting it.
• The cleaning of the drain should be done after a specific period of time.
• The should be a proper check and balance for the cleaning of the drain.
• There should be strict rules for the maintenance of the Hudiara Drain.
Water PollutionEnvironmental Economics
Conclusion
The production of firms cannot be stopped but along with the production
several steps should be taken to control water pollution. These steps are
discussed in policy statement that there are laws for water pollution but
these are not implemented or policies to control water pollution are not
monitored properly. If these laws and policies are followed properly there
will be less pollution and it will save several people’s and mammals lives. If
taxes will be imposed on industries to dump their waste in water then there
is a possibility that there will be less contaminated water which is effecting
human health and marine life as well.
