A Burkina Faso clay referenced SAB has been characterized to be used as raw material in the making of adobes. Mineralogical studies (by XRD, DTA-TG), chemical and geotechnical studies (Atterberg limits, particle size distribution) carried out on this clay have shown that it is composed of kaolinite (62 wt%), quartz (30 wt%) and goethite (18 wt%). It is a sandy-silty clay of medium plasticity containing no swelling minerals. Its particles are mainly clay (19 wt%), silt (36 wt%), fine and coarse sand (45 wt%). It is thus suitable for the development of adobes for habitats. The adobes elaborated with SAB clay have been stabilized with an optimal cement content of 10 wt%, which offers a mechanical strength greater than 2 MPa; minimum value for single-level constructions. In order to improve the physical properties (density, porosity, water absorption by capillarity, erosion resistance, compressive and flexural strengths) of these adobes and to reduce cement consumption as much as possible, the cement (10 wt%) was partially or totallysubstitutedby rice husk ash. This substitution contributed to the improvement of the physical and mechanical properties of the adobes, due on the one hand to the effect of micro-filling of the ash and on the other hand to the increase of the CSH resulting from the pozzolanic reactivity between the released portlandite by the hydration of the cement and the amorphous silica of the rice husk ash.

Phuleli canal in Hyderabad is main water supply source for both irrigation as well as human drinking purpose. Quality of the canal deteriorates while passing through Hyderabad city,2nd largest city of Sindh ,Pakistan because highly toxic effluent from plastic factories, illigale cattle pens ,slaughterhouses and munciple sewage water are directly discharge into the phuleli canal without any treatment. Soil is a basic requirement for supporting the life on earth, but all over the world soil fertility decreasing by different ways including waste water and solid waste. In Pakistan soil is polluted by different ways out of which untreated liquid waste is main cause of soil pollution. The sewage and industrial liquid waste released in canals and streams without any treatment, which used for irrigation by which soil get polluted. This study was carried out to find out the facts about soil pollution by sewage, in this purpose Phuleli canal was selected, this canal carry the liquid waste of Hyderabad and for the desired study different parameters were investigated.
