The major reason why the POP gets into the river is the pestisides that are transported to this region by illegal means. Usually they are of chinese production. The way the POP gets into the river is the use of ex-government factories

Due to the high level of deposits in the canal, the drainage has been completely blocked, causing the water to stagnate. Sea water has also seeped into the fields, further reducing the fields' productivity. Therefore, around 350 farmer families were unable to continue with their paddy cultivation in more than 1200 acres.
The farmers then tried to dig a temporary drainage canal in several
