Abattoir effluent discharges can harm the water quality of urban watersheds. A study assessed the impact of these effluents on a watershed's physical and chemical properties. The effluent contained various substances like pH, TDS, and BOD, which were compared to safe limits set by health organizations. The results showed that the effluents from abattoirs can pose health and environmental risks to the watershed.
