Polluted Current — The Rio Grande At The Border

A dead bird lies along the banks of the Rio Grande at the border between Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas. In this urban stretch of the river, visible pollution is present, and environmental studies detect elevated bacteria levels associated with wastewater discharges and urban runoff.
