- Description:On February 5, 2025, in Lima, Peru, @dianitagcr shared a video of the Rimac River turning an abnormal red color. In the video, while crossing the bridge, the author noticed the unsettling hue in the river. Despite concerns from local residents, some authorities insisted the water remained safe to drink. Pollutants from industrial plants are suspected to have caused the change. With over 30 operating mines and hundreds of drainage pipes in the area, contamination remains a concern. The National Water Authority has collected samples and pledged to monitor water quality closely.
