Appreciate the Rivers

Protect the Rivers
- The river also supports life. Therefore, it is every citizen’s responsibility to ensure that we do not pollute our rivers.
- We must not throw rubbish, waste products and chemicals into rivers.
- All efforts must be made to love and protect our rivers. If our rivers are polluted, it will not be able to flow properly and this will result in flash floods during heavy downpours.
