Abstract
There is a trade off between economic development and environmental deterioration. Environmental pollution problems are, in fact, a necessary evil of modern industrial era and water pollution is one of them. A larger proportion of population is badly affected by water pollution. The municipally supplied water is generally blamed for its poor quality and held responsible for the wide spread occurrence of stomach ailments in the Faisalabad Metropolis. In the present study, a pioneering effort has been made to estimate the prevalence of water borne diseases and financial cost of polluted water use in Faisalabad city.
