The King River, Australia
The King River is arguably Australia's most polluted river that suffers severe acidic condition related to mining operations.. About 1.5 million tonnes of sulfidic tailings entered the river system each year up to 1995 with total of more than 100 million tonnes until date.
This is just the end of my list of ten rivers that look ugly and are dangerous to humans around them. There are hundreds more like them lying lifeless with plastics and toxics floating above the dead water creatures and plants. We all are educated and showing ignorance towards the matter is not a wise behaviour we all know. But still we stay mumm and are happy with mineral water bottles and our water purifiers at our homes. I do not ask you to think about the world but sit and ponder about your future. How far you can convince yourself after watching the plight that the rivers have met today, that you have a safe tomorrow?
