A fortnight ago, I went for a walk and saw this man made pond almost right beside the river. The pond’s water was uncontaminated by silt. Its water is independent from the river, which often turns murky due to silt and mud washed down from a long distance higher upstream.

This is what I meant when I wrote that the river’s water has turned murky.

I agree, I’d much prefer the pond.
Whoa! I’d definitely pick the pond! That river is so murky. Where I used to live, whenever I took pics of our river, it was always brown (yuk) unless it was a clear blue-sky day and then the sky would reflect in the water giving it a clean blue look!
