    TOXIC WATERS: Argentina's Rotten River
    zReportage.com Issue #989 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY May 13, 2025: 'TOXIC WATERS: Argentina's Rotten River' by ZUMA Press award winning photo-journalist Igor Wagner: Very few locals call it water. This is Riachuelo de la Matanza in Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina. The 40-mile river served as the capital's dumping ground for more than 100 years, mid-19th century chroniclers described it as ''rotten'' and has long been considered one of the most polluted rivers in the world. Thousands of businesses, such as tanneries, chemical plants and factories, are situated in the basin, while an estimated 4.5 million people call the area home. Sewers, household waste, old cars and boats, virtually anything fit for a dump went into the river. The result is an environmental and health crisis spanning generations. Residents and campaigners now fear a new ruling on the toxic Matanza-Riachuelo basin will send a message that environmental protection is not a priority.

    'Live sick or flee': pollution fears for El Salvador's rivers as mining ban lifted
    The landmark prohibition on mining in 2017, a world first, has been reversed by authoritarian leader Nayib Bukele but the move has met fierce resistance from environmentalists.

    On 23 December, its congress voted to overturn the ban on metals mining, a move championed by the hardline president, Nayib Bukele, who is prioritising economic growth over environmental concerns.
