Pollution Problem Plagues Brassci Creek
Title: Residents Alarmed as Factory Waste Pollutes Pirinci Stream
Date: 10.07.2023
Residents living near the Pirinci Stream are expressing concern as the stream’s water changes color and foul smells spread in the air. Many believe that the situation is a result of the disposal of factory waste into the water.
Dr. Erol Kesici, a hydrobiologist, warns of the severe consequences of polluting water resources. He emphasizes that no waste should be left in these vital ecosystems as they disrupt the delicate balance of nature. Moreover, the contaminated water is often used as a drinking water source, posing a significant health risk to the community. Dr. Kesici urges authorities to take immediate action, calling for the quarantine and isolation of the affected area from the Alibey Dam.
The current pollution incident is particularly alarming given the ongoing drought conditions in the region. With limited water resources already under strain, the contamination of the Pirinci Stream exacerbates the challenges faced by the local population.
Residents are demanding accountability from both the factory and relevant authorities. They argue that such incidents cannot be excused, particularly when the community is already grappling with environmental hardships.
Efforts to address pollution and protect water sources should be a top priority for all parties involved. Implementing stricter regulations, enforcing responsible waste disposal practices, and increasing water quality monitoring are some measures that could help prevent such incidents in the future.
Preserving the delicate balance of nature and safeguarding water resources is essential not only for the well-being of local communities but also for the sustainability and long-term survival of the region as a whole.
