In the Mogotio area, along the banks of the Molo River, a remarkable transformation is taking place. The people living in this region consider the presence of a brown-colored water river as a blessing, despite its apparent contamination. For years, they have been utilizing this water for various purposes such as washing cars, and motorcycles, cooking, and even drinking directly from it. Unfortunately, this has resulted in the proliferation of waterborne diseases and numerous cases of diarrhea in the local health facilities.
