About 28 million individuals use the Citarum River as a water supply, they collect and boil it for drinking and cooking.

However, the river is home to various contaminants from both industrial and domestic sources, which frequently dump their waste into the water. The result was creating one of the world’s most polluted rivers.

Sadly, people who earned a living from fishing had to find another career, as the river contained less fish and more plastic, wood, and rubber waste.

Fortunately, a 4-billion-dollar 15-year rehabilitation project was launched in 2011 to save the river as well as those who depend on it.
