Given the close proximity of households to the river and their making use of river water, we aimed to determine to what extent water pollution has an impact on health of indigent communities in South Africa and Mozambique in the catchment area.enAnthropogenic pollutionWater pollutionContaminated water catchmentsArticleGenthe, B., Kapwata, T., Le Roux, W.
