Rivers are important habitats for humans and animals. Almost all cities were built on rivers, as they were among the most important transportation routes early on. They provided enough water to drink and also food through fishing. Rivers characterize the image of many cities and give them a very special atmosphere. Which river flows through Dresden or through Krakow in Poland? Berlin has several rivers. Which are they? Fancy another quiz on rivers and lakes in Germany?
Since ancient times, the river has been a symbol of becoming and change, of life itself, as the traditional quote from the philosopher Heraclitus proves: “You cannot step into the same river twice.” However, humans have significantly altered flowing waters, and many of them are not in a good ecological condition today.
Numerous rivers compete for the title of “dirtiest river in the world”. The Indonesian river Citarum on the island of Java is considered one of the dirtiest. But the Yangtze in China, the Ganges in India and the Brantas in Indonesia are also among them. Domestic and industrial waste is disposed of in the river, as there is no waste management system for millions of people. Rivers are our lifelines and must be preserved.
