Polluted Current — The Rio Grande At The Border

Visible pollution exists in the Rio Grande along the border between Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas. Trash, discarded tires, and other urban waste become trapped in the water and along the riverbanks, where environmental studies detect elevated bacteria levels associated with wastewater discharges and urban runoff.
