The industrialization of metropolis urban areas with dry and steppe climates raise substantial environmental contamination, particularly in the water domain. This research investigated the awareness levels of business students toward drinking water quality and safety. We further explored the knowledge of the business students regarding drinking water issues and remedies. Eighty-four percent of respondents were happy with the quality of their drinking water, according to the findings. Approximately 66% of respondents paid special or rather high attention to drinking water quality and contamination incidents, particularly regarding possible harm to the human body and health, impact scope, and accident reasons. Few respondents reported to the health department or phoned the water safety department; 47.5% of respondents resolved drinking water issues independently. Age and education level did not play a significant role in the degree of public satisfaction with water quality or the public's perception of water pollution incidents; however, business students in Samundri were more satisfied with their drinking water quality, and residents of Faisalabad Sadar were more aware of drinking water contamination incidents than residents in areas without such a network. Respondents with higher levels of education were more aware of water quality and pollution incidents than those with lower levels of education. The steppe climate, diverse human activities, and industrialization led to water pollution. The current research findings may provide fundamental data for efficient water management in the most populated and industrialized regions.
都市干旱草原气候地区的工业化带来了大量的环境污染，尤其是在水领域。本研究调查了商业专业学生对饮用水质量和安全的意识水平。我们进一步探讨了商业专业学生对饮用水问题和解决方法的了解。调查结果显示，84%的受访者对饮用水质量感到满意。大约 66%的受访者特别关注或高度关注饮用水质量和污染事件，特别是关注可能对人体和健康造成的伤害、影响范围和事故原因。很少有受访者向卫生部门报告或致电水安全部门；47.5%的受访者独立解决了饮用水问题。年龄和教育水平在公众对水质的满意度或公众对水污染事件的认知方面没有起到显著作用；然而，来自萨姆恩德里的商业专业学生对他们的饮用水质量更满意，而费萨拉巴德萨达尔的居民比没有网络的地区的居民更了解饮用水污染事件。教育程度较高的受访者比教育程度较低的受访者更了解水质和污染事件。草原气候、多样化的人类活动和工业化导致了水污染。本研究结果可为人口最多和工业化程度最高的地区提供有效的水资源管理的基础数据。
