Update on progress

On 4th of June , our river project's members went on our regular patrol along the river . We tried to do some cleaning up of the river by using the new net pole bought by the teacher-in-charge. To our surprise, the river was very clean on that day. We gathered that this is due to the heavy rainfall the night before which would have increase the volume of water in the river.
Nevertheless, we spotted a lot of pollutants along the side of the river as well as along the ledge of the bridge. We did a quick clean up of the area and collected one full trash bag of rubbish.
After our clean up, we sorted the various types of pollutants that we picked up.
We also noticed some dirty water (filled with oil slick).

Here are the list of items that we found in or near the river.

Toodles!
