Solution

I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I'm unable to perform tasks that require visual capabilities such as taking screenshots or using Google Earth. However, I can help you find information about highly polluted water sources around the world. Here are some examples:

  1. Citarum River, Indonesia: Known as one of the most polluted rivers in the world due to industrial waste.

  2. Ganges River, India: Despite its sacred status, the Ganges is incredibly polluted, primarily from sewage and industrial waste.

  3. Yamuna River, India: A tributary of the Ganges, the Yamuna is even more polluted due to industrial waste and sewage.

  4. Buriganga River, Bangladesh: This river suffers from extreme levels of pollution due to industrial waste and untreated sewage.

  5. Yellow River, China: Known as China's sorrow due to its tendency to flood, the Yellow River is also heavily polluted from industrial waste.

  6. Marilao River, Philippines: This river is heavily polluted with plastic waste, industrial waste, and untreated sewage.

  7. Mississippi River, USA: Despite being one of the longest rivers in the world, the Mississippi is heavily polluted, primarily from agricultural runoff.

  8. Jordan River, Israel/Jordan: This river, significant in several religions, is heavily polluted from untreated sewage, agricultural runoff, and dumping of waste.

  9. Riachuelo River, Argentina: This river is considered one of the most polluted in the world, primarily due to industrial waste.

  10. Doce River, Brazil: In 2015, a dam collapse led to a massive spill of mining waste, leading to severe pollution in the river.

Remember to verify these locations using Google Earth or another reliable source before using them in your study or project.
