Manchar Lake is the largest fresh water lake in Pakistan, which is degrading day by day due to effluents of various industrial sectors. This simple study was carried out to assess the possible changes in water of lake due to waste water discharge from industrial sectors, the analysis was carried out at Environmental Analytical Laboratory in the Department of Chemistry, University of Sindh Jamshoro and parameters were compared with water quality standards of world health organization. The analysis include the determination of pH, Electric Conductivity (EC), Salinity, TDS (Total dissolved solids), Alkalinity, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Nitrate, Chlorides and total hardness were performed
