Guanabara Bay still polluted the two years of the Olympic Games

The two years of the Olympic Games in Brazil, the Guanabara Bay, which should (or should) get the sailing competition, still full of trash, debris and all kinds of pollution.

The Bay, which is one of the great symbols of Rio de Janeiro, an iconic place repeatedly painted and sung by artists, continues to receive water from the sewers â€" industrial and human pollution is one of the major problems of the Brazilian city.

According to the Assistant Secretary of State for the environment of the River, only 34% of the city's sewers are treated â€" the remaining part is sent into the water.

If the Guanabara Bay remain polluted, the Organization will have to find a new location to receive the evidence of sailing, canoeing, rowing, and swimming.

Here are a few current photos of Guanabara. Think, within two years, the Bay will be ready to receive the Olympic Games?
