THIS CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING! Purification of the world’s most toxic river
There are many rivers on earth. According to various sources, their number ranges from 2.5 to 4 billion. Throughout the history of mankind, rivers have been a source of life and prosperity, but the rapid activity of people has led to the emergence of water arteries that bring disease and death. One of the most dangerous and toxic today is the Citarum River in Indonesia. What made it this way? How do people live on the banks of this river? What efforts are being made to purify it? Citarum is the longest and largest river in West Java with a length of about 270 km. It flows through thousands of settlements on the island, connecting the villages and residents of Indonesia’s most populous province. And this is more than 25 million people. The Green Cross Switzerland and the Pure Earth (Blacksmith Institute) list Citarum as one of the ten most polluted places in the world. This is a real ecological disaster, as the waters of Citarum are literally suffocated by household waste and chemicals from hundreds of industries thrown into the water. Mountains of dirt and waste piled up on the banks of the river, and people are forced to live among them. According to the Asian Development Bank in 2013, about 9 million people lived in close contact with the river, where levels of fecal coliform bacteria are more than 5,000 times the mandatory limits. And now people suffer from a host of illnesses such as dermatitis, rashes, intestinal problems, kidney failure, chronic bronchitis, and tumors. After all, most local residents have to use polluted water directly from the river to bathe, wash clothes, as well as for drinking, and cooking.
