Cleaning up Bodies of Water with the Rio Salado Project

Looking out from the window of the restaurant, you can see that the sun reflects from the shining water below. Boats and other water tools will disperse water and people into water skis and inner tubes. Pictorial scenery shows life better, People calm down just by looking at the river.

Riachuelo has flowed into Rio de la Plata and both rivers have a long history of pollution. Rio de la Plata plays an important role in the daily life of Buenos Aires by providing drinking water in the city, but it is limited only after a thorough cleaning process. However, many experts are warning that water is being treated, but it is impossible to remove all heavy metals from all the water handled. During the last dictatorship of 1976-1983, the military forfeited many state lands on the river banks, made them their own, restricted access, and prevented access to the river. They also issued an order to prohibit bathing in the river. But the darkest shadow of the river came from one of the most terrible behaviors during the dictatorship: with a secret night flight by military aircraft, they threw people from the plane to the river.

Under the landmark "Water Purification Law" for over 10 years, there was confusion about which bodies of water were protected, and extensive legal arguments. In most cases this confusion affects small rivers, ponds, wetlands, especially occasionally depleted wetlands. In 2015, the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Army passed a water purification regulation to clarify the legal protection of tens of millions of acres of wetlands and thousands of streams in the United States. These waters plays an important role. It is worth noting that more than 117 million Americans receive drinking water from public systems supplied by streams dependent on water, seasons or rain. The wetland area of ​​the mainland of the United States is approximately 110 million acres, supplying with contaminated runoff and supplying groundwater.
