Fortunately this sort of thing can be fixed
About 150 years ago the river Medlock in Manchester was considered a fire hazard and the Thames was pretty much guaranteed to kill anyone unlucky enough to fall in.
Both of them cleaned up reasonably well once people started making an effort.

As recently as 1986, the river Rother still had the reputation as the UK's most polluted river
It would be inky black one day and bright orange the next, These days it is much improved but is still contaminated with the remnants of heavy metals (particularly mercury) that were pumped into it over several generations.
