The image displays a heavily polluted open waterway in Rafin Par, Nigeria, under direct sunlight. The water is murky, ranging from a light greenish-blue to brownish-grey, and is saturated with floating and partially submerged solid waste, including numerous plastic bags, bottles, and wrappers. A large, approximately 60-70 cm diameter, light-colored pipe with a reddish-brown band traverses the waterway horizontally in the foreground, supported by a concrete pillar. Accumulated refuse is visible on and around this support structure. The left bank features dense green vegetation with numerous small yellow flowers, interspersed with scattered trash near the waterline. The right bank is extensively covered with a deep layer of diverse solid waste, primarily plastics and fabrics, extending from the dry ground into the water. In the elevated background to the left, two white utility vehicles are parked near a small, weathered building constructed with corrugated metal siding. No individuals or animals are present within the scene.
