It is Lake Neglect-e-Karachi, an unapologetic sewage outfall on the city's most accessible public beach- "ghareebon ka sahil"- situated a short 10-minutes walk from Bilawal House. A casual fact.
Don't go here to access nature at the sea, it is hazardous.

More outfalls! The microcosm of the city: dhara dar development without provision of adequate infrastructure.
Don't go here to access nature at the sea, it is hazardous. Or east because there are more of these.

This report on sewage hazards is from three and a quarter years ago (2017): https://www.samaa.tv/news/2017/09/must-watch-video-karachi-beach-goers/
And this one from four months ago (October 2020)- nothing changed, elected officials still blissfully 'unaware' https://tribune.com.pk/story/2267276/filthy-nullahs-flow-onto-sea-view-beach

SURPRISE! AN ACTUAL LAKE.
.............now Naya Nazimabad.
Can't go here to access nature in the urban core because it does not exist anymore.

Karachi's tragedy: water at its doorstep yet people craving free-of-cost and safe, nature-based recreation. One can pretend that smog from new expressways is ocean mist.
