But unfortunately, in recent years the flow of water to minimize the river had reluctantly throw in the towel, writhing in its death throes and give up their freedom, though not without its own efforts to stay alive.

Distance along its course, it passes through the dry and arid areas where the sun sucks the moisture and without its river to replenish it. Still survived, year after year.
