Dear All
The river is a large and elongated water flow that flows continuously from upstream (source) to downstream (estuary). And rivers are also part of the hydrological cycle. Water in rivers is generally collected from rainfall, such as rain, dew, springs, underground runoff, and in certain countries also comes from melting ice / snow. Besides water, rivers also flow sediment and pollutants.
The biggest benefit of the river is for agricultural irrigation, raw material for drinking water, as a drainage system for rainwater and wastewater, even has the potential to become a river attraction.
However, from this picture, the lack of human awareness about the flow or river still seems to be an instant object to be used as a landfill. That fact is proven by the amount of garbage that fills the river and river tillers.
Throwing garbage into the river is a form of unfavorable interaction between humans and the natural environment. Here are some consequences of the effects of human interaction with the environment that is not good are as follows:
Source
- The occurrence of flooding which is caused by the flow of water is disrupted by garbage that is disposed of carelessly by humans.
Source
- Landslides occur because humans often cut down trees on sloping land.
Therefore, the cleanliness of the river must be maintained by not making the river as a landfill, so that disaster does not occur to us. So your participation must continue to be increased so that you can participate in preserving the environment.

We can continue to do this so that none of us can throw garbage or waste into the river anymore. I hope by calling and inviting you together to build a river environment so that it can be realized for the benefit of present and future generations, and that environment will still be able to support the survival of humans and other living things.
