Abstract
In our current study we focused our attention to analyze the drinking water of industrial area of
Sheikhupura that is swarming with small and large industries. Previously no work has been reported
related to this area. Samples were collected from the twelve different sites of the mentioned area for
six months at frequency of once per fifteen days (map in Fig 1). The samples were analyzed under
strict quality control conditions and ASTM (American Standard Testing Methods) methods were
employed for strictly precise and accurate results. Four sites showed bacterial contamination, five
sites indicated high level of TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) and conductivity. Only one site indicated
elevated chromium leve(0.6 mg/L)l, two depicted increased level of arsenic but five sites gave idea
about the high level of manganese(highest average value 1.2 mg/L ) in the study area
