Photos from open sources Well, the song is under the name of the famous ensemble The Beatles, a beautiful melody that was once Soviet woe-songwriters redid in “Carlson”. That is, it is a poetic form. Although in Ukraine there is a real Yellow River flowing along Kirovograd and Dnepropetrovsk regions.
Now the Animas River in Colorado USA has turned yellow. Moreover, if the Ukrainian Yellow River carries all the same clear waters since it was somewhat yellowish a long time ago (due to leaching of iron ore deposits), then Animas dyed bright yellow brown just yesterday.
Such a metamorphosis with the American small river occurred because in almost five million liters of cadmium and arsenic were drained due to of which the acidity of water has increased a hundred times, which threatens extinction all living in the area of the flow of such an acidic artery. Its length is more than two hundred kilometers, and nearby settlements used Animas water for drinking, watering plants and technical needs.
Responsibility for damage caused to nature and people took on the United States Environmental Protection Agency itself, namely his staff inadvertently cleaned one of gold mine, resulting in a leak numerous chemicals.
So the current “Yellow River” is far from poetic delight, although many Americans living along the shores of Animas, remembered today the forgotten melody of The Beatles and purr her under his breath. What is there to do?..
