      we start the process of source-pathway-receptor
      The river is where the pollution is (receptor)
      How did it get into the river ( pathway)
      Where did come from (Source)

      We would boom the river with a ‘sausage like absorbent’ that floats on the surface and soaks up the pollution. This done at the furthest extent of the pollution and then we look for the source and stop the pollution at the source.
