Quality Monitoring of Hudiara Drain
The Ravi, one of
Pakistan's major rivers, has serious
pollution problems. However, as
regular water quality assessments
have not been undertaken, it is
difficult to accurately measure
the extent of pollution. Hudiara
is one of the drains that empties
into the River Ravi. Since it is
representative of the type of pollution
from similar drains and is a source
of transboundary pollution, WWF-P
has chosen the Hudiara Drain for
a study which involves regular and
systematic monitoring of pollution
levels during one year. The results
will be disseminated to all major
stakeholders and the model will
be replicated for other drains.

Drain |
Hudiara Drain, which is a natural
stormwater channel, originates
from Batala in Gurdaspur District,
India and enters in to Pakistan
at village Laloo. After flowing
for nearly 55 km inside Pakistan,
it joins the River Ravi. |
