Man, I hope someone takes the chance and spends some time cleaning up the river while it's low. I'm in the wrong hemisphere otherwise I'd be out there with a truck shoveling garbage myself. I'm just looking at it and thinking, "damn, I bet if you got a bunch of people together with some big trucks, you could clean up everything in that picture pretty quickly and it'd be a little less garbage in the river once it gets flowing again".
