Rivers
Your granddad falls sick from the river water, so you follow the Indus from its delta to its source in the high Himalayas. When Mr Aquatina dumps you on the snowy mountainside, you suspect his company may be responsible. Will you and Dr Tasneem successfully navigate the river’s tributaries and meanders to prove your theory?
