The World's DIRTIEST River

Twisting and turning through the jungles of Java is a river so polluted it’ll make your skin melt. On this episode, we bring you the world’s dirtiest river.

Located east of Jakarta, being the 3rd biggest river on the island of Java, the Citarum river has claimed the top spot as earth’s most polluted. Covering an area of 5,000 sq miles or 13,000 sq kms the water from the Citarum river is relied upon by 30 million residents. 5% of the river’s water is needed for 2000 industrial factories and irrigation for rice farms. 80% of the surface water is used by the citizens of the nearby capital city Jakarta.
