A critical study has revealed that nearly 147 million liters of untreated sewage is being discharged daily into Srinagar's Jhelum River and the famed Dal Lake. Both water bodies are considered lifelines of Kashmir, vital not only to the local ecosystem but also to the livelihoods of millions of people. According to the study, the continuous inflow of such a massive quantity of untreated sewage could severely disrupt the ecological balance of these water bodies, raising fears of a potential ecological collapse. Dal Lake, long a hub of tourism and local economic activity, and the Jhelum River, an integral part of Srinagar's water supply and drainage system, are both directly affected by this crisis. While the available information does not specify the institution that conducted the study, the exact source of the data, or the time period it covers, the figure underscores the severity of water pollution in Kashmir. It serves as a warning to experts and local authorities that without concrete steps toward sewage treatment and management, these water bodies could suffer irreversible damage.
