8:36 am
of it but. it's only during the rainy season with the fall of freshwater the fishermen couldn't hope to catch a life fish. it would take many years and millions of euros to clean this water that you didn't really. think i think. that is i've been eating here for thirteen years when i want to resign clean and my husband was a fisherman and we were leaving thanks to seem that over today the fish from the begun to is inedible and my husband is out of work if the river were cleaned well could leave well from it and not go to the government is responsible for the state of the buddha going to look what happened to it or not this river runs right through to how could they let this happen and the government does nothing.
