Pearl River, China.

Pearl River is an extensive river system located in southern China. It is the third largest river system in China and drains into the sea by the Pearl River delta. Due to fact that the mainland around the Pearl River estuary is very densely populated by the cities of Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Shanzhen and Hong Kong it means that it is also notoriously polluted by all the urban industries, mining activities upstream, atmospheric inputs and agricultural pesticides, with waste water running straight into the river with heavy minerals and trace elements.
