April 17, 2018 - Dhaka, Bangladesh - Bangladeshi commuters use boats to cross the Buriganga River. The chemical waste of mills and factories, household waste eventually makes its way into the Buriganga River, which is considered to be Dhaka's lifeline. Thousands of people depend on the river daily for bathing, washing clothes, irrigation of food and transportation of goods. The river has suffered extreme biodiversity loss and has now turned black. A large swathe of the Buriganga River, which is the lifeline of the capital, has turned pitch-black with toxic waste, oil and chemicals flowing into it from industrial units.
