Located in the suburb of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, Argentina’s capital, it turned bright red on Thursday and alerted local residents.
Pictures and videos show that intensely colored water flows into a estuary, Rio de la Plata, which borders an ecological reserve.
According to local media reports, the color can be caused by dumping of textile paint or chemical waste in the nearby warehouse.
In a statement, the Ministry of the Environment stated that water samples were taken from the Sarandí channel to determine the cause of the color change.
Late afternoon, the color of the water had lost its intensity, the AFP news agency reported.
Residents have claimed that many local companies are disposing of toxic waste on the waterway, which passes through skin processing and textile factories, which is approximately from the center of the capital. 10 km (6 miles).
A resident, a woman named Silvia, told a local feed that although it turned red now, it was “yellow at other times, an acid smell, which even makes it sick in the throat.”
“I live a block from the stream. Today there is no smell. There are not many factories in the area, though there are warehouses.”
Another resident, Maria Ducomls, told the AFP Industries waste in the area and said that in the past he saw differently “bluish, a little green, pink, a little purple, fat on top”.
