a totally unpolluted river

[stubbojo]

just been thinking , theirs got to be a river somewhere thats not got any sewage going in or any industrial waste , but then again if there wasn't
you would still get all the rainwater wash off from farmland and the likes ..

so there would have to be a high altitude river with no farming community in-reality for it to be pure ....sad innit

So to rub in more salt!
Your Utopia river won’t exist. The rain that falls contains modern day pollution all having an effect. A natural spring at source would probably be as close as you could get to pure but that also contains high mineral content it’s collected in its 4000 years to re-surface

Steve’s snippet from Bullers book he posted the other day was ahead of his time but how true.

It was announced years (and years) ago that there is now no unspoiled wilderness on Earth, literally everywhere is polluted.
However!
Some places are clearly worse than others, and not every river has 200 Olympic swimming pools worth of s**t per day fired into it like the Thames sometimes does.
If you put the effort in, you can still find REALLY nice places, if not entirely untouched....

I lived in a watermill where all water we used was pumped from the millstream. My wife used to complain she didn't mind sharing her bath with freshwater shrimps but she drew the line at duck feathers.

If only we could go exploring over that ice wall that Admiral Byrd talked of

Everything is evolving so could there be an argument nothing is not affected or untouched since earth began .

True.
As a species we will breed ourselves out of existence long before we have ever got around to de-polluting this planet, inept governments and corrupt politicians will ensure pollution simply continues to increase and increase.

I see no long term future for humans on this planet, we will destroy it and ourselves.
