Thoughts on choreography:
The movements could be smooth, "silent", that are seemingly harmless, or at least doesn't affect the river in a negative way. This is the general image that people have, one would never think Science Park could be such a bad influence to the natural environment. What really goes on behind their walls could be shown in several different ways. At a later stage in the performance, the dancers could slowly transition into more brisk movements which would suggest that it disrupts the calm pace of a river. We could also do the same thing by separating into two groups, one being their image on the surface, and the other being the ugly reality. I don't know how we could make people understand the pollution... trees falling, plants wilting, human and animal health and living conditions worsening?

Great ideas: moving from smooth, silent movement to more brisk and chaotic movement. I don't think we necessarily need to "make" people understand the pollution. Let's work with your abstract ideas; we can take the article as a jumping off point and explore its main ideas without creating a narrative.
