I think it's reasonable to search for a matching context in which a hippo and a lion co-exist, and then not to forget about what's going on to the left of the figure - what's the connection of the mer-person and the persons above to these animals. One thing which is more or less distinct is that at the highest level we have heavens (cloudband pattern), from which water seems to pour onto the second layer of the system.
If we consider blue as clean water and green as dirty water, then clean water is pouring down from heavens, then the lady second from the top does somehow contaminate it, then the third lady manages some kind of filter which purifies the water again and it flows down to the alleged Nile which is dirty again (why?).
