Situated in the south-central region of Mexico, the Río de Los Remedios or the River of Remedies flows through various boroughs of the State of Mexico. The source of the water is through the glass regulator Christ that starts its streams of rivers and tributaries from the San Javier Rivers and all the way through Grand Canal at kilometer 9.
However, over time, the River of Remedies that was once the affluent fluvial currents of the City of Mexico and a significant part of Moctezuma River basin in the hydrological Panuco region is filled with impurity and waste. Having the length of 15.7 km, although it functioned as a collector, the river depicts high-grade contamination and toxicity that have led to a serious decline in quality of the water. It is because multiple poisonous discharges from factories in the form of residual wastes have been thrown in the river as it embarks its journey from the main source. Along with the residual waste, many of the other harmful substances such as oil, fats, solvents, acids and heavy metals pollute the river considerably.
Upon the anger of the local residents, the city administration decided to intervene
It was not until 2014 when the residents of the city demanded that the city administration should take serious notice of the polluting and contaminating water. Due to the uprising, the State Health Secretariat issued a sanitary alert notification so that all the river can get its pure form so that the nearby cities and municipalities can benefit as they used to earlier. Furthermore, due to the contamination of the river, the tourists ceased to make a visit to the place. This also acted as a driving force for the state administration so that the river regains its originality and become a source of tourist attraction once again.
