Suratmo lives on the banks of the Citarum River. The man started to fish in the Citarum
River when he was a teenager. When he grew up, he decided to become a fisherman.
After being a sand miner, being a fisherman was the second main job for people living in
this area. It was a good decision. Until seventeen years ago, everything was fine, and
since five years ago, it started to get worse. Suratmo caught fewer fish after that time. He
caught less and less fish.
In fact, he often came home empty-handed. As a breadwinner, he had to think a lot about
his life. He said he could no longer be called a fisherman. Instead, he should be called a
scavenger because he collected and sold plastic waste to make a living. He collected the
7/9
garbage from the same river he washed - the Citarum River.
The Citarum River has often been called the most polluted river in the world. Every day,
this river receives no less than 20,000 tons of garbage and 340,000 tons of sewage. The
sewage came from about 2,000 textile factories. The waste killed the fish and destroyed
the environment.
The Citarum River is the third largest river in Java. However, since 2008, almost 60% of
the fish species have disappeared due to the presence of chemicals that have killed the
animals living in and drinking from the river. However, since 2008, almost 60% of the fish
species have disappeared due to the presence of chemicals that have killed the animals
living in and drinking from the river. Dead animals can be found along with garbage and
trash.
The polluted water of the river caused people to suffer from skin and respiratory diseases,
in addition to the bad smell and color. Farmers lost their crops, and the surrounding area,
including Suratmo and the 25 million people who live near the river, faced hardships.
These people also rely on the electricity generated by the river.

7. How has Suratmo's livelihood evolved over time, and what factors contributed to this
change?
Answer: Suratmo's livelihood changed from fishing in the Citarum River during his
teenage years to becoming a full-time fisherman as an adult. However, due to declining
fish populations, he eventually turned to collecting and selling plastic waste from the
same river to make a living. Factors contributing to this change include a significant
decrease in fish catches over time, which made fishing unsustainable, and severe
pollution of the river, which made it difficult for fish to survive.
8. What significant environmental challenges does the Citarum River face, and how have
these challenges impacted Suratmo's life and the lives of those living nearby?
Answer: The Citarum River faces significant environmental challenges, mainly due to
pollution from various sources, including industrial waste and sewage. This pollution has
had a profound impact on the lives of Suratmo and those living nearby, causing a decline

in fish populations and a shift in livelihoods to plastic waste scavenging. In addition, the
polluted water has caused health problems such as skin and respiratory diseases. It has
also affected agricultural productivity and created hardship for the local community.
9. What are some specific consequences of the pollution in the Citarum River, both in
terms of environmental degradation and its effects on human health and livelihoods?
Answer: Pollution in the Citarum River has led to numerous consequences, including
environmental degradation and negative impacts on human health and livelihoods.
Environmentally, the presence of chemicals and waste has killed nearly 60% of fish
species, destroyed habitats, and resulted in dead animals being found along with garbage
and trash. Human health has been affected by skin and respiratory diseases caused by
polluted water, while livelihoods have suffered from declining fish populations and
agricultural losses.
10. Can you describe the role of industrial activities, such as textile factories, in
contributing to the pollution of the Citarum River, and how has this affected the local
ecosystem and communities like Suratmo's?
Answer: Industrial activities, especially those of textile factories, play a significant role in
the pollution of the Citarum River. These factories discharge large amounts of wastewater
and chemicals into the river, contributing to its pollution levels. This pollution has had a
devastating effect on the local ecosystem, killing fish and other aquatic life, and adversely
affecting communities like Suratmo's, who depend on the river for their livelihoods and
face health risks due to the polluted water.
