ABSTRACT In the present study, the effects of environmental pollution on aquatic vertebrate biodiversity were studied and inventory of vertebrate fauna of Hub Dam was prepared. The water samples taken from four sampling sites from the study areas viz. Main Dam, Spill way, Hub Canal and shallow water area were analyzed for physico-chemical parameters viz temperature in air, temperature in water, color, pH, TDS, COD, BOD, alkalinity, salinity, conductivity, hardness, Phosphate, Nitrate, Bicarbonates, Sulphate, Chloride, Carbon dioxide, Dissolved Oxygen, Turbidity and Fluoride, Cations (Ca+, Na+, Mg+, K+ ) and some selected heavy metals (Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb, and Hg). The seasonal and yearly variations in selected physico chemical parameters and trace metals were determined with respect to the amount of annual rainfall and contamination factors involved. During the study, no adverse effects of environmental pollution were found on the aquatic biodiversity except for some minor toxic effects due to trace metals in water. All the physico – chemical parameters’ values were observed as per limits of World Health Organization standard.

  • Towards an Inclusive Public Transport System in Pakistan1
    TOWARDS AN INCLUSIVE PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN PAKISTAN1 Muhammad Adeel, Anthony G.O Yeh and Zhang Feng2 Abstract Urban transport in Pakistan is characterized by the coexistence of formal and informal transit services. While urban transport is deregulated and - somehow – multimodal in the country, the transport service providers often compete with each other within their particular constrains and their equilibrium defines the overall landscape of urban accessibility. With examples from the cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, the paper discusses three broad constraints on the urban modes of transportation, namely regulatory, spatial and demand related constraints, using a number of important system characteristics. Results show that the overall level of constraints remains ‘Very High’ on the newly constructed BRT, followed by ‘High’ constraints on the informal paratransit mode, ‘Qinqui’. Whereas the Suzuki and Wagon modes coverage remains maximum and they carry relatively lower level of constraints. In this context, an inclusive urban mobility largely depends on a proactive approach by management authorities to minimize these constraints through a number of initiatives including integration of modes, improvements of the quality of service and condition of vehicle, and by facilitating the mobility of women and non-motorized travellers. Keywords: Transport, accessibility, Pakistan, BRT, Qingqi 1. BACKGROUND Population explosion and rapid urbanization in Asian countries have brought complex mobility challenges for a vast majority of their people who also face issues of poverty, inequality and limited access to basic services (Gakenheimer, 1999). While the average distances between activities are increasing with time, so are the issues of mobility and accessibility. Lack of access to public transport, poor quality of transportation infrastructure, rising levels of personal automobile ownership and a persistent disregard of traffic regulations pose further issues to the already challenging mobility environment (Dimitriou and Gakenheimer, 2011).

Pakistan Railway has spent handsome amount of money on the Railway infrastructure, but unfortunately tracks could not be fully utilized. Since last many years due to the fall of the Pakistan railway, road transport has taken an advantage of this & promised to revenge. Finally road transport has increased progressive amount of share in his account. In order to get the share back, in 2006 Pakistan Railway decided to introduce High speed train between Rawalpindi-Lahore 1.According Pakistan Railway year book 2010, feasibility report for the high speed train between Rawalpindi-Lahore has been completed.

  • Annual National Report of Environment 2016
    Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency Ministry of Climate Change Annual National Report of Environment 2016 Pakistan Environmental ProtectionPage Agency | 1 Annual National Report of Environment of Pakistan 2016 Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency Foreword The state of the environment normally relates to an analysis of trends in the environment of a particular place. This analysis can encompass aspects such as quality of drinking and surface water, air pollution, land degradation, land use which keeps on changing with time. The rapid urbanization and motorization make these changes even more severe. Since the state of the environment directly affects human health, its periodic checking and updating are essential. The first Annual National Report on Environment of Pakistan 2016 is based on available secondary data. The report helps in taking timely decisions to avoid any damage, specifically to human health and environmental resources. The information about the Annual National Report on Environment also helps policymakers to make informed decisions. The report could apprise legislators to undertake necessary legislation to protect public health and to save natural resources from pollution. Pak EPA hopes that the report may be of use to policymakers, researchers, consultants, academia, students, print and electronic media as well as general public interested to know about the state of the environment in Pakistan. We would welcome the suggestion to improve the future annual national report on the environment. We are committed to producing the next edition of Annual National Report on Environment of Pakistan will be based on primary as well as secondary data on the environment. Page | 2 Annual National Report of Environment of Pakistan 2016 Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency Acknowledgement I highly appreciate the work carried out by Geomatic Centre for Climate Change of Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency to undertake Annual National report of Environment 2016.
