In Pakistan, the Left Bank Outfall Drain is a drainage channel.
The canal, which was built between 1987 and 1997 with World Bank funding, collects saline water, industrial effluents, and Indus river basin floodwater from more than two million hectares of land in the Nara river basin of Shaheed Benazirabad, Sanghar, Mirpurkhas, and Badin districts and discharges it into the Arabian Sea.
In 2003 and 2011, the canal flooded, causing severe flooding that it was supposed to avoid.
