One would like to think that river water is cleaner, but with hundreds of thousands of people dumping things into it, we found extreme contamination. You can see the pigs and there were at least a dozen in this one spot. I had a difficult time finding any bare ground to walk or stand on.
The water was a gray color and reminded me of run-off water from the scene of a fire. It was not a pleasant experience to dip my hands into the river for the samples.
We saw much evidence of distended abdomens, skin disease, worms, and secretions from the nose, eyes, and ears. It is so sad. Let us please never take for granted even the blessing of being able to bathe ourselves in clean water. We also know that God loves each of his children and we pray that one day these will be able to have safe water to drink and will be redeemed from this horrible place to live.
