Pollution of water resources in Kuching, Sarawak



Hi, all
As you all know, i walk to school 
and i happen to pass through this "river" every morning

I was totally shocked the first time i saw a river in a blanket of rubbish
Although i don't smell anything rotten inside the river
It was never a good sight to see ~

the location of this river, i have no idea about the exact location as google maps was not updated


OK, now the river, i think is picture is self explanatory enough
this scene you seeing, happens every single time after a heavy rain

Water bottle, trash, polystyrene and anything you can find in a dumping site.

 terrible sight

and another terrible sight.....

Yap, the whole river is contaminated~~

The only thing i wonder is, why no one is taking action on this.
i saw beach cleaning, i saw people going bald for cancer children
i saw changes must be made during the election
i saw article on newspaper saying that how important are our water resources
and i saw people doing pollution studies at remote area
but as always,








Thanks for watching everyone
my next post will be on rotary evaporator ~~the as always looks so sophisticated machine you can see but never touch


have a nice day~and remember to drink your water everyday

  2. The only problem here is, the rubbish aren't really stationary. YOU can actually see a new pile every day
