Citarum: Indonesian river keeps textile industry’s dirty secrets
The Citarum river in Indonesia is known as the world’s most polluted river. In some places, the water turns from murky to black and resembles a bubbling witches’ brew of domestic trash, sewage and industrial waste from hundreds of factories along the Citarum’s banks. Locals, aware of the contamination and health risks, continue to use it for drinking and other daily needs, as manufacturers keep dumping toxic chemicals and heavy metals in the river. An RTD crew travels to Indonesia to witness the river’s degradation and meet environmental activists on a mission to stop it.

It's bad enough for people and the environment when temperate rivers suffered these assaults. I can't even imagine the harm orders of magnitude worse that such affliction causes in verdantly rich tropical waters.
Thanks!

That's not a river anymore, it's a free flowing poison that will kill the planet little by little.
