Water pollution can increase entropy, which is a measure of disorder. Researchers developed a model to minimize the entropy caused by polluting a river. By optimizing the removal of pollutants at specific points, they found a way to reduce the overall increase in entropy. This model could help manage water pollution more effectively.
