A large amount of garbage and waste is observed in Igarapé do Franco, one of the most well-known water courses, located in the west of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, on April 21, 2021. Despite being cut by several streams, Manaus has a weak basic sanitation network and most of the city's waste is discharged into its watercourses. The state of Amazonas is experiencing a period of rain and river flooding. The rivers usually flood from November to June, and this event can be changed due to factors such as "repiquete" (when the river shows signs that it will stop filling, but suddenly starts to flood quickly) and climatic phenomena such as La Ninã and El Niño, which can interrupt or intensify the rains.
