Warning issued for polluted water for Pakistani city
Over 40 people died in May last year in Hyderabad from water-borne diseases. The prediction is that it will be worse this year, as reported by the BBC News.
The warning comes as local irrigation authorities say they need to release toxic water from a local lake into the main river that supplies the city with drinking water.
Residents of Hyderabad say that over the years, neglect and ill-designed drainage projects have turned Manchhar lake into a "vast body of pure poison".
Of course,local irrigation authorities disagree, arguing that polluted water can cause no harm to humans if it is sufficiently diluted.
