5 Things that could disrupt Rio Olympics 2016

Poorly Managed Sailing Water

Aquatic waters, where water sports are to be held has become a major problem in this Rio Olympics 2016 due to the poor management of sewage, which poses health hazards.

According to recent local TV report, 8,200 liters of untreated sewage flow into the bay through the city’s rivers every second. There are also lots of floating electronic waste that are present in the rivers, such as televisions, mobile handsets etc. The sailors have been getting sick quite frequently and they have also criticized the organizers about their sail boats hitting a lot of objects while sailing. Guatanamo Bay, the area where sailing is to be conducted serves as the destination to a lot of sewers in that area. Recently a severed human arm was photographed in that Bay as well.

For making the rivers sailable, the government has to completely remove the floating wastes and clear off the poop and other sewage material. Until then, the stink will continue and make it unsuitable for sailing or any other activity.
