Citarum River

West Java, Indonesia · -6.52°, 107.42° · River pollution

Textile factories and household waste have made this one of the most polluted rivers on Earth.

The Citarum supplies water to tens of millions of people around Jakarta and Bandung. Hundreds of textile factories discharge dyes and heavy metals into it, and household rubbish has at times covered the surface completely. A government clean-up programme launched in 2018 aims to make the water drinkable again.
