In today's world there are many river which are dying, infact there is a list too. I know it sounds inpracticle but it is true.. Let me share the list of top 10 dying rivers with you:
- Yangtze
- Citarum
- Yellow river
These three rivers are at high risks other rivers which have their name on the list are:
- Ganges
- Mississipi
- Buriganga
- Yamuna
- Mekong
- Danube
- Murray-Darling
These rivers are polluted and are in risk too but the question rises that how does this happens?
Well, if I say this is the byproduct of factories and the plastic which you use at your home. But how this reaches rivers?
Imagine your mom has gone to buy some groceries from the grocery store. She takes a plastic bag from the shopkeeper to keep that grocery. She brings it home takes out the groceries and throw it in a dustbin, where it goes from the dustbin, it goes to the garbage collector he/she will dump it at a place or in a river. Dumping it in rivers pollute the rivers at a high scale many fishes have died because of the plastic present in rivers. Well if you think that the garbage that is dumped on the land is not harful? No, it is harful the animals like cows, goats and sheeps eats it and die. Now lets come back to the river case, the rivers first get polluted by the garbage we throw in those and secondly the factory waste is also very harmful to the aquatic life.
Fun fact of the article: A fish eats very low microgram plastic and does not die then a fisherman hunts it down and currently it is on the table of a man who has ordered it in a hotel or made it at his home. He eats it the microgram plastic enters his mind. Well it does not matter much but just think that plastic is in his brain too !!!!
