Problem Area - Rainwater Nuisance

Description

Problem

The problem in the river is caused by different things. The first problem to address is the fact that there is an extreme amount of trash in the river. The community and/or visitors around the Butuanon river seem to throw their trash in the river or on the street which than blows or flows (due to wind, rain and flooding) in to the river. This results in a river that has plastic al around the river bedding and in the water. The big trash pieces in the river result in obstructions in the water which cause sedimentation and a bad flow in the river. The third problem is that allot of companies and houses wastewater is dumped in the river. Sewage and chemical water flow in to the river without any form of filtering. This results in toxics coming in to the river and disturbing the quality.

Awareness

By creating a place where people can enjoy the river, they will have more appreciation towards the river. When there is appreciation the government hopes to create an environment where the people don’t want to disrupt the river in any way. When people stop causing the pollution the river will become cleaner.


Samenvatting (Dutch description)

In middenloop van de Butuanon rivier probeer de overheid awareness te creëren rondom de rivier. De rivier is ongelofelijk vervuild en is vrijwel in zijn hele loop dood. Door het creëren van een uitkijkpunt kunnen mensen de rivier zien en ervan genieten.
