The Unattractive side of the Risacua River
The Risacua River is considered one of the most unattractive rivers to visit in the city of
David. This river is deserted and covered with over grown grass and scattered garbage. No one
wants to swim in this unsightly green water because of the noxious smell of pungent trash and
the presence of homeless people that live by the riverbank giving the site a frightened view.
While at the river, breathing is difficult due to the smoky and heavy air left behind by hundreds
of cars that drive by the area. If you drive to the river, on your right hand, you will notice a few
houses made of boxes and broken material where the owners have taking the land for their
own convenience contributing to the pollution and bad appearance of the river. It is hard to
believe that today the Risacua River is one of the most unattractive places to visit in David.
