Simon asked, "Why is the water black?"

Adam answered shakily, "The factories are releasing pollutants into the water, and people are throwing rubbish into the river.

"The location of the stadium is also problematic. It obstructs the lower stream, causing pollutants and trash to accumulate."

The factories, owned by Oliver and the others, produced steel, concrete, and paper- industries notorious for their environmental impact, and the pollutants they discharged were foul-smelling and filthy.

The nearby residents had lodged many complaints, but due to the status of Oliver and his leverage over Stephen, no one could stop them. Until now, Stephen still had to provide. Oliver and the others compensation fees.
