There are more polluted rivers in any given country than there are clean rivers in the entire world. In the American example, there are more than 5 endangered or polluted rivers in the USA. In the UK, the river Thames is still delivering waste into the North Sea and English Channel. Though much improved.
Every nation has similar problems, but how can a country be called developed if it cannot take care of its natural resources? Nobody wants to cruise a dirty river, in a polluting riverboat. That is more supporting the polluting culprits. Condoning poisoning fish stocks, and humans as the apex predator, reliant on fisheries for protein, to feed the world.
SOME
OF THE CLEANEST RIVERS IN THE WORLD - A TO Z
Li River
(Guangxi): The Li River originates in the Mao’er Mountains in Xing’an County and flows in the general southern direction through
Guilin, Yangshuo and Pingle. In Pingle the Li River merges with two other streams, and continues south as the Gui River, which falls into the Xi
Jiang, the western tributary of the Pearl River, in Wuzhou. Green hills flank the 437-kilometer course of the Li and Gui Rivers . Cormorant fishing is often associated with the Lijiang (see bird intelligence). The unusual karst topography hillsides is often compared to those at Halong Bay, Vietnam.
St. Croix River:
The St. Croix River is a tributary of the Mississippi River. It is approximately 164 miles (264 km) long, in the U.S. states of Wisconsin and Minnesota. The lower 125 miles (201 km) of the river form the border between Wisconsin and Minnesota. Apart from being one of the Cleanest rivers in the world; it is also a National Scenic Riverway. This is because it falls under the protection of the National Park Service. A
hydroelectric plant at St. Croix Falls supplies power to the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area.
The Tuolumne River, United States: The Tuolumne River is a wild and scenic river that flows through the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. It’s known for its clear waters, granite cliffs, and abundant wildlife, and it’s a popular spot for rafting and

It rises at Lake Torne near the border with Norway and flows generally southeast for a distance of 522 kilometers (324 mi) into the Gulf of Bothnia. It is the largest river in Norrbotten both by laength and by watershed area and is also one of the cleanest rivers in the world.
