Jaba River is a river in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. It empties to Empress Augusta Bay at 6°23′00″S 155°13′00″E / 6.3833333°S 155.2166667°E / -6.3833333; 155.2166667. It was polluted by waste[1] from the Panguna copper mine. Jaba river was polluted with sediments and heavy metals dumped from Copper mine.[2] The aquatic life of Jaba river was destroyed due to heavy metal pollution. The environmental pollution of river was one of the causes [3][4] of armed conflict on the island and struggle of local people for independence.
