Sindh Province Pakistan is facing environmental problems of both green and brown nature. The green issues mainly include environmental problems of irrigated agriculture, rain-fed agriculture, forests, and rangelands. In irrigated agriculture, water logging and salinity dominate the environmental agenda. Brown environmental problems are categorized in five main groups: industrial wastewater pollution, domestic wastewater pollution, motor vehicle emissions, urban and industrial air pollution, and marine and coastal zone pollution. Industrial pollution is increasing at a very rapid pace in left bank, delta and coastal areas and the health and productivity impacts on population and natural resources are significant.
