Water with color, Huelva, Spain Instagram.com/©IGNACIO MEDEM Five thousand years of mineral mining are responsible for the distinctive hue. Acid mine drainage is the result of the chemicals used in this mining. These chemicals are a disaster for the ecology, even though they are what gave rise to the stunning colors of Rio Tinto.
