Good topic! First comment - the problem of pollution is not directly correlated to income or prosperity of the population living nearby (however some indirect relations do exist). Secondly - the river, bay or sea/ocean are the recipients of the litter, but not the cause of it; Third comment - pollution comes in many different shapes and forms - to control/minimize it - one would need to develop a good understanding of its nature, source, transmission path, behavior (e.g. solubility) etc. There are many paper published and a few projects at various stages of development that claim to address the issue of pollution. You would need to define your interest with more precision e.g. stormwater derived pollution or wastewater derived pollution or others. This is a "larger than life" problem - so I would not expect any "packaged" solutions that can be easily replicated. Regards, Iouri
