Citarum River is one of the most polluted rivers in the world. Located at Indonesia, the river is full of toxic chemicals because of the discharge of waste matters. Nevertheless, 500 000 people still use directly for their daily use, and 5 million people use the water indirectly. As a result, they might contact diseases due to the bacteria inside the river. Many fishermen are also affected as many fishes die due to the polluted water. These fishermen are having a hard time earning a livelihood to feed their family. This also affects the country's economy and tourism.
The government and fishermen are trying their best to clean the river.
