The photo above, from the Associated Press, is of the Yellow River in China after a discharge pipe was seen dumping "red and smelly" liquid into it for a couple of hours. Hundreds of millions of people live without clean water, and the city of Lanzhou(population 2 million) uses that stretch of the Yellow River for its water supply.

It never ceases to amaze me what human beings do to the environment. The really stupid part is that the same people who dumped the liquid into the river also have to use that river as their local water source. You'd think that might made them at least try to keep it clean.
