The Day's Catch

Man fishing in a polluted river in the Philippines. Many Asian waterways are toxic, polluted by agricultural chemicals, untreated sewage and solid waste from households, and industrial discharge. The poor, who often live near these dirty rivers, suffer from both exposure to this pollution and lack of access to clean water. Water-related diseases are common. The Asian Development Bank is promoting improved water resource management, which is essential to achieve and sustain equitable, economic growth.

This painting is one of a series of watercolors by artist Dave Parker painted with water from rivers, standpipes, rainwater, floodwater, and public faucets in developing countries across Asia and the Pacific to raise awareness of water scarcity and quality. The original was painted using water from Manila's Pasig River. To learn more about the WaterColors series send an email to water_colors@adb.org.
