Holy Hell
““Now everything is dead, it’s like a totally dead river. Unbelievable. Overnight, this river died.”
“an acid spill at a Chinese-owned mine …contaminated a major river and could potentially affect millions of people after signs of pollution were detected at least 100 kilometers (60 miles) downstream.”

Authorities and environmentalists in #Zambia fear the long-term impact of an #acid #spill at a Chinese-owned mine that contaminated a major river and could potentially affect millions of people
after signs of pollution were detected at least 100 kilometers (60 miles) downstream.
The spill happened on Feb. 18
when a tailings dam that holds acidic waste from a copper mine in the north of the country collapsed
The collapse allowed some 50 million liters of waste containing concentrated acid, dissolved solids and heavy metals
to flow into a stream that links to the #Kafue #River,
Zambia’s most important waterway, the engineering institution said

It's hard to believe that the #Gonzaga in #Chimfunshi has been on site in this particularly beautiful corner of #Zambia 🇿🇲 for nearly a week! After a few days around #Lusaka, we've been exploring ecology and culture on the banks of the #Kafue since last Tuesday!
