Pollution
Despite its short length, the Zarjoob watershed is home to about 1 million people and the river is heavily polluted. Sources of pollution include leaching from a landfill that receives some 700 tons of waste per day, approximately 500 factories, domestic and hospital wastewater, and agricultural runoff from rice paddies.[1]
