What You'll Learn
Speak to Dalia in the northern part of Gerudo Town
To start the side quest "The Mystery Polluter" in "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", you must first begin the Thunder Helm quest. This is achieved by examining the thunder helm near Riju and expressing interest in it.
Once the "Thunder Helm" quest has been initiated, you can then begin "The Mystery Polluter" side quest by speaking to Dalia. Dalia can be found in the northern part of Gerudo Town, specifically in a small alley in the northern corner of the town. During the day, she will be in the area of the alley where she wants to grow her garden.
Dalia is a little Gerudo girl who is planning to start a fruit garden in an empty plot near The Noble Canteen. She has been preparing and cleaning the plot, but trash has begun to pile up in the water trough, making the water polluted and unsuitable for her plants.
Speak to Dalia about her garden plans, and she will set you off to find the source of the pollution. You can then follow the trail of pollution by inspecting the nearby waterfall where melon rinds occasionally float down.

Start the Thunder Helm quest
To start the Thunder Helm quest, you must first complete the Divine Beast Vah Naboris Main Quest. Then, head to Gerudo Town in Gerudo Wasteland and find Riju in her palace. You will see the Thunder Helm sitting next to her. Examine the helm to start a conversation with Riju and express your desire to borrow it. She will then instruct you to solve the problems of the town's residents by completing all the other Gerudo Town Side Quests.
There are four side quests to complete in Gerudo Town before you can obtain the Thunder Helm: "Tools of the Trade," "Medicinal Molduga," "The Mystery Polluter," and "The Search for Barta." Each of these quests involves helping a different resident of Gerudo Town and will ultimately require you to hand over some of your inventory to complete them.
In "Tools of the Trade," you will need to gather materials for Riju's bodyguard, Buliara, by searching the Gerudo Desert and completing mini-games offered by Gerudo traders. "Medicinal Molduga" involves finding Molduga guts to cure Malena's husband's illness. You will need to defeat Molduga monsters in the Gerudo Desert to obtain the guts.
"The Mystery Polluter" quest requires you to investigate the source of pollution in the Gerudo Canyon Stable. Speak to the stable's NPCs and gather clues to find the culprit. Finally, in "The Search for Barta," you will need to locate a Gerudo girl named Barta who has gone missing. Speak to Liana, who can be found training with her fellow Gerudo Soldiers, to learn about Barta's approximate location.
Once you have completed all four side quests, return to Riju in Gerudo Town to claim your reward, the Thunder Helm. This powerful item will protect you from lightning strikes and increase your resistance to electricity. It is an heirloom of the Gerudo people and holds some of the power of Champion Urbosa.

Find the person polluting the water
To find the person polluting the water in the "Mystery Polluter" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you must first complete the "Divine Beast Vah Naboris" side quest and start the "Thunder Helm" side quest. After finishing the main quest, you can trigger the "Mystery Polluter" side quest by speaking to Dalia, who can be found in the north corner of Gerudo Town during the day.
Dalia will ask you to find the person polluting her water source. Go to the town's west corner and head up to the rooftops. Here, you will find Calyban, a Gerudo woman who is eating Hydromelons. She is the source of the pollution, as the rinds are flowing down into Dalia's water trough through the upper waterway.
Speak to Calyban, and she will eventually agree to stop polluting the water in exchange for 10 wildberries. You can find wildberries in the snowfields of the Gerudo Highlands or at the Rito Stable.

Give the polluter 10 wildberries
To complete the "Mystery Polluter" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to give the polluter, Calyban, 10 wildberries. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this:
Find the Source of Pollution
Start by talking to Dalia in Gerudo Town. Dalia will explain that she wants to plant an orchard, but the water source she intends to use has been polluted with garbage, rendering it unusable. Follow the waterway upstream until you find Calyban, the woman responsible for the pollution. She has been tossing melon rinds into the water, causing the trash problem that is affecting Dalia's orchard plans.
Obtain Wildberries
Calyban agrees to stop eating melons in exchange for 10 wildberries. To obtain the wildberries, you can search for them in the Gerudo Highlands. While they can be challenging to find, using the enhanced sensor can help you locate them more easily in the Tabantha Tundra and the eastern Hebra region. Alternatively, you can find them near Rito Village; look for a bush at a stable close by.
Deliver the Wildberries
Once you have acquired 10 wildberries, return to Calyban and give them to her. She will fulfil her promise and stop eating so many melons, resolving the pollution issue. Dalia will plant the wildberries she receives, and with the water source cleared, you will have successfully completed the "Mystery Polluter" side quest.
Please note that before you can initiate this quest, you need to have started the Thunder Helm quest by examining the helm near Riju and expressing your interest.

Return to Dalia for your reward
To return to Dalia for your reward, you must first complete a few tasks as part of the "Mystery Polluter" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
First, you need to initiate the "Thunder Helm" quest before you can begin the "Mystery Polluter" side quest. To do this, you must examine the Thunder Helm near Riju and express your interest in it. Once the "Thunder Helm" quest is active, you can proceed to the next steps.
Now, you can start the "Mystery Polluter" side quest. During the day, find Dalia in the alley where she wants to grow her garden. Talk to her, and she will mention not knowing what to plant. At this point, you can begin your investigation into the mystery polluter.
Follow the trail of pollution by inspecting the nearby waterfall. You will notice melon rinds floating down from the waterfall. Climb up and pursue these rinds as they float down to the eastern corner of the town. You will find a woman named Calyban sitting in the western corner, eating Hydromelons and tossing the rinds into the water.
Calyban will ask for 10 wildberries, which can be found in the snowy areas of the Gerudo Highlands. Collect the wildberries and bring them back to Calyban. After completing this task, you can now return to Dalia to receive your Hydromelon reward, thus concluding the "Mystery Polluter" side quest.
