There was a lot of geothermal activity directly alongside the river so my guess would be certain minerals leeching in and giving the water a very light blue tinge, could be wrong though

Unfortunately, there is a huge dam construction project upstream from Omachi (there already is an old dam, but they're building like an extension.)

The construction leads to unusually high mineral deposits, and this water is far from pure.

yea I was going to say I'd love to drink that water, but now I'm thinking I shouldn't

I love drinking water straight off the land especially if it's a crystal clear rocky mountain stream 🥰🥰🥰
