five o'clock in the morning, any day. The rain begins to fall, slowly at first, then louder. Hit on the roofs, gutters and drains and runs on the sidewalks, parking lots and streets. The swirling storm water run in the parks and gardens, trailing animal manure and herbicides, as well as on routes where they are in its path asbestos, coal and fat. Before the end of the shower, half a million gallons of rainwater have been swallowed by the storm pipes underground maze of the city. At seven hours, two hundred thousand people who still have work begin to rise, take a shower, brush their teeth and drive the cops. At eight hours, when most residents have left their jobs or school, 104 million liters of water used will have been poured into the drainage pipes from their homes, and then in the collecting duct network. Overflowing sanitary connections and a toxic mix of rainwater and wastewater is transported by streams of the region. Only in a neighborhood they rush to the treatment plant. At nine hours, the treatment plant is not enough to attack, and effluent is discharged directly into coastal waters Rio de La Plata through the stream El Gato, a short distance from the direct rollover of the rest. The wheel of his car with all windows closed to avoid breathing the exhaust of vehicles that precede them, motorists are reported by radio: "The exchange is more dense than usual on the highway to the Federal Capital, circulation is slow in all lanes. " Invisibles waters to brown and full of rivers and canals in the region shed its load of sediment and toxic chemicals in the Rio de la Plata. At the mouths of those streams, fishermen should return their prey water, as demanded by signs that discourage the consumption of fish. The radio announces "Do not forget that after the rain we just had it dangerous to swim on the beaches of the region during the next two days." Mid-morning, employees of the Ministry of Health will analyze the water on the beaches bordering the coastal sector. For a week the bathroom is prohibited in many of those beaches among other reasons because the flow of the river is slower on the right bank.
Later in the radio reporting the weather forecast "weather will be cloudy this morning and sunny from midday, with a maximum of 32 degrees." In the afternoon, there will be in addition to sun, smog dense that sting the eyes in the residential area of \u200b\u200bGonnet and City Bell, from Berisso industries and Ensenada. Later Southwest wind contribute a pungent odor and is produced in the landfill where there are mountains of bags with decaying contents of gulls and flocks of them carrying the bodies of water near the river and the coast. "And the temperature will drop, notably on the coast of Rio", follows the radio. "Surely a day like any other in La Plata."
