The steams of the Northern Range which make up its source are beautifirl and cool and crystal
clearflowing fromthe hills to theval'lrysoveqrgcl,cqn$pebble,-butonce theygetoutofthe valleys
they become dustbins for people who do not'cire dirlthing about polluting or'dirtying the clean
waters.

By the time these streams join the main stream on the plains of the Caroni, the river is muddy,
sickly brown, sluggish and filthy, and_qg lary to move (except in the rainy season) that it is a
wonder it gets to the sea at all. It pEdndeis.,and turns and twists as if to avoid all movement and
flow, backing into a bend here, almos-fstagndnt in a pool there. Sometimes it turns back and heads
forthe hills, and sometimes it is still and lifeless like a long lake. But in the rainy season, when it
cannot accommodate the swollen skeams, it overflows its banks and destroys crops and livestock,
and makes some adjacent roads impossible to cross.
