Description:
People bathing in the heavily polluted Buriganga River early in the morning. The pollution in the river is getting more severe due to untreated domestic and industrial wastes mainly from tanneries in Hazaribagh and Jigatala. If the pollution is not stopped, water toxicity may be too much for water plants to handle, ultimately creating an acute water crisis in the city. Dhaka, Bangladesh. February 7, 2008.
