Today I’m aligning (with Bing images) the ‘Gualaxo do Norte’ river, it was one of those affected by mud from Samarco mining company.

Just a note: watch out with aligning to bing imagery. Bing doesn’t always have the correct alignment, certainly not on uneven terrain (which is usually the case near riverbanks).

Also, there was just recently a Project set-up with post-event imagery here: https://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1317
