Dredging happens a lot in the Amazon River so that big cargo ships and tourist cruises can get through the River without the bottom being taken off, when dredging this means that they constantly take the dirt from the bottom of the River and make the River deeper, this can cause dirt and poor soil from the bottom of the lake to effect the river and can also kill the life inside the River. Rubbish pollution happens quite a lot in the Amazon River as well as a lot of people take boats filled with rubbish and dump it in the River. The solution to help the River is that they are not trying to dig so much from the Amazon Rivers base of River as it is deep enough for cargo ships to get through but when these cargo ships are going through the Amazon this starts to cause oil pollution.  

In this picture it shows how much dirt they have been burring from the dirt underneath the river, this is the result of dredging in the Amazon river.  ]]> 2016-08-28 23:02:00 UTC https://padlet.com/krosel/7Geokiah/wish/120201114 Bibliography  krosel https://padlet.com/krosel/7Geokiah/wish/120201674 http://www.worldwildlife.org/places/amazon
