Environmental experts have issued stark warnings about the continued deterioration of water quality in major rivers, confirming that rising pollution levels pose a direct threat to water, food, and health security. Water resources are suffering from the continuous discharge of untreated sewage and industrial waste, negatively impacting biodiversity and increasing health risks, with a notable rise in chronic disease rates. Experts and environmental observatories have called for the declaration of a state of maximum alert and the establishment of a comprehensive national program that includes building modern treatment plants and imposing strict penalties on violators. Supreme legislative bodies are scheduled to discuss this issue in extraordinary sessions to identify the root causes of the crisis and hold those responsible accountable.
