How to stop the mess

It is difficult to prevent city rivers from being polluted, but it is not impossible. It is easy to prevent rivers from drying up. Enough with the conferences, enough with NEMA and other organizations in charge of conserving the environment. Here are my suggestions:
  • Stop further diversion of river water, legal or illegal
  • Dam rivers so that they can collect more water in the rainy season
  • Water intakes should be built on dams, not directly on the river
  • Stop planting of eucalyptus trees in catchment areas
  • Plant more indigenous trees
  • Come up with stricter laws governing our water sources
  • Form new, more powerful organizations to take care of water sources
  • Learn how to dispose garbage
  • Do regular city cleanups. A garbage collection day can be set up, where everyone gets involved
  • Blow up all water intakes with dynamite to allow flow of water downstream
