In most of the areas of Balochistan, drinking water is now converted into polluted water which contains pesticides throughout Balochistan. Various drinking water quality parameter sets are fervently violated.

Human activities like improper disposal of industrial effluents and indiscriminate applications of agrochemicals in agriculture are the main factors contributing to the deterioration of water quality. Microbial and chemical are also responsible for polluted water.

Drinking of polluted water may cause major health diseases like diarrhea, gastroenteritis, typhoid, infections, intestinal warms some strains of hepatitis and infant deaths are caused by water borne diarrhea in Balochistan.
