Water and soil study It was hypothesized that the three drains coming from Faisalabad industries carry polluted water. To test this hypothesis, soil and water samples were collected from the drains and river Chenab and subjected to different tests. High levels of pollution were recorded in both soil and water samples collected from the Chenab River and its associated drains. One site was selected as a non-polluted site before the entry of the first drain into the Chenab River.
