- Summary:
- Kyrgyzstan's Naryn River, born on Petrov Glacier, begins its journey next to a massive gold mine, which has long troubled environmentalists worried about hazardous material escaping downstream. Although the river is very important for agriculture and power production, the environmental awareness of those who depend on its health is low. Raw sewage is routinely dumped into Naryn River. A drought or depleted glaciers would diminish water for the Toktogul reservoir, jeopardizing the viability of the power station. We talk to those concerned about Kyrgyzstan's most important river.
