San Juan River is a major river system in Metro Manila and tributary of the Pasig River. It traverses five cities, namely, Quezon City, San Juan City, Mandaluyong City, Pasig City, and Manila City, all highly urbanized areas, which also suggests high generation of waste. The accumulated volume of solid and liquid waste from domestic, commercial and industrial establishments surrounding the 37.4 meter-wide river significantly contributed to its failing water quality.Locations:Asia-Luzon-Manila-Pasig-Philippines-Southeast AsiaDate:8 Sep, 2017Credit:© Enrico Empainado / GreenpeaceMaximum size:4000px X 2250pxKeywords:Aerial view-Cities-Houses-KWCI (GPI)-River pollution-Rivers-Toxics (campaign title)-Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-Urban areasShoot:Aerial View of the Pasig River in the PhilippinesGreenpeace Philippines and the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) hosted a boat tour showing the magnitude and trajectory of plastic waste from tributary San Juan River to the Pasig River’s mouth.The tour highlighted the chokepoints and documented the pollution along the Pasig River and feeding into Manila Bay. The groups also released a GPS-equipped buoy to track the movement of marine debris, such as plastic waste, from Pasig River into open waters.In a June 2017 report, the Pasig River was ranked eighth in the top 20 polluting rivers as predicted by the global river plastic inputs model.Related Collections:Manila Plastics Project: Plastic Pollution in Pasig River, Freedom Island and Cavite, Philippines (Photos & Videos)
