Rivers at Risk: How Smart Management Can Tackle Antibiotic Pollution

Antibiotics in rivers are a big problem. They hurt nature and people. But how bad is it? And what can we do? Scientists used smart tech to find out. They looked at rivers all over the world. They found that rain and lots of farm animals make the problem worse. In Africa, rivers are in big trouble. But there's hope. Rules about using antibiotics can help. When many rules work together, they work better. Scientists say we should also clean up wastewater and have fewer farm animals. This can make rivers healthier. Healthier rivers mean cleaner water and happier fish. So, what's the big idea? Smart management can fight antibiotic pollution. It's not easy, but it's possible. We just need to work together and use the right tools. That's how we can protect our rivers and keep them safe for everyone.
