Can you suggest solutions for pollution disease and garbage in rivers?

Suggestions of pollution disease garbage in river may depend on the source of the garbage and the resources available to make the river water safe for animals and humans. Learn of the Water Cycle and from that example of the water evaporating from the ocean and going to the clouds to rain on the mountains and ground and to go through the rivers and minerals, you can create your own water cycle to clean the river water for animals and humans. For example, at the beach, you cannot drink the ocean water, but you can dig a hole in the sand and drink the water from it because the water is somewhat filtered, albeit, brackish tasting. If the garbage is a huge problem, you can make a campaign for teaching people to not through garbage in your river. You can make lots of videos of the garbage, make a website to show all the videos and create awareness online and offline to make trashy people be a little more embarrassed to throw trash in your river.
