Mastering Water Testing in Pakistan: Safeguarding Public Health in Karachi & Lahore

In Pakistan’s rapidly growing urban hubs like Karachi and Lahore, access to clean, safe drinking water is not just a public utility—it’s a critical public health mandate. From household consumption to industrial usage, the demand for quality water is rising, yet the risks of contamination continue to pose a serious threat. This is where professional water testing laboratories step in—not as service providers, but as silent guardians of public health.

At Envi Tech AL, we specialize in ISO-accredited water testing services across Karachi and Lahore. Our advanced lab infrastructure, expert analysts, and commitment to regulatory compliance empower communities, businesses, and institutions to ensure safe water for every drop that’s consumed.

🌊 Why Water Testing Matters More Than Ever

In cities like Lahore, where water pollution from industrial effluents and groundwater contamination is escalating, regular drinking water analysis is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. According to the Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR), over 70% of water sources in major urban areas are unsafe for consumption. The implications range from waterborne diseases like typhoid, hepatitis A, and diarrhea, to long-term health risks from heavy metals and pesticide residues.

Regular water quality monitoring plays a pivotal role in:

• Preventing disease outbreaks

• Meeting EPA Pakistan and WHO guidelines

• Ensuring business and industrial compliance

• Safeguarding public confidence

🔬 Our Scientific Water Testing Process

At Envi Tech AL, we believe precision is the foundation of prevention. Our end-to-end water testing process includes:

1️⃣ Sample Collection

Trained field personnel collect representative water samples from households, factories, borewells, overhead tanks, and commercial facilities across Karachi and Lahore.

2️⃣ Secure Sample Transport

Samples are sealed, tagged, and transported under cold chain protocols to prevent microbial growth or degradation.

3️⃣ Physical Parameters Analysis

We begin with physical characteristics—color, odor, turbidity, and temperature—to identify visible anomalies that may signal contamination.

4️⃣ Chemical Examination

This includes testing for:

• Heavy metals: Lead, arsenic, cadmium

• Inorganic pollutants: Nitrates, chlorides, sulfates

• Organic contaminants: Pesticide residues, hydrocarbons
  All analyses align with WHO Drinking Water Quality Guidelines.

5️⃣ Microbiological Testing

We conduct microbial screening for E. coli, coliform bacteria, Salmonella, and pathogenic fungi to evaluate hygiene and sanitation levels in water sources.

6️⃣ Quality Assessment & Reporting

Results are compiled into actionable, easy-to-understand reports with clear pass/fail indications, comparative benchmarks, and regulatory references.

📏 Ensuring Compliance with National & International Standards

Our labs follow rigorous compliance with:

• ISO/IEC 17025:2017

• EPA Sindh and Punjab Environmental Standards

• WHO & UNICEF Water Quality Guidelines

• SEPA (Sindh Environmental Protection Agency) protocols

We support industries in achieving effluent discharge compliance, ensuring their water treatment processes are both effective and environmentally responsible.
