[3] Positioned along the coastal belt between the eastern outskirts of Korangi Creek and west of Port Muhammad Bin Qasim, Rehri Goth enjoys direct access to the mangrove islands of the Indus River Delta.
[5] Its residents, predominantly Sindhi speakers, comprise both long-standing inhabitants and recent migrants from villages surrounding the Indus delta, compelled to relocate due to droughts or sea intrusion caused by upstream dam construction and irrigation systems.
[5] Pollution sources include raw sewage disposal, waste from a nearby buffalo colony, and untreated wastewater from the Korangi Industrial Estate.
The settlement was once encircled by mangrove forests, but their extent has drastically diminished due to livestock grazing, illegal logging, fuel consumption, and reduced freshwater flow caused by upstream dams, and canal and irrigation systems.
Water analysis of Rehri Creek reveals significant contamination from untreated industrial and cattle colony waste directly discharged into the sea.
