The Ganges: How India's Most Sacred River Is Under Threat From Pollution

We explore the compelling stories of the life that’s lived along their banks, encountering indigenous communities who dwell in harmony with rivers; modern traders, artists and artisans who make their living there; and vast metropolises which - now more than ever - depend on twenty-first century technologies to keep the ancient waters at bay.

    It’s much more complicated than that. Only the lowest castes (Hindus say it doesn’t exist but does) are allowed to touch trash on the ground. Hindus throw their trash so the Dalit can clean up after which they try to do every night in cities but there is just too much trash. Fundamental changes need to be taught. India has a wonderful recycle program that the rest of the world should take sight of. Recycling affords millions of poor to work and be paid. I have faith in the Indian people to work on this problem in the years to come. They are a very spiritual people and love their land. The hard part is going to be to teach the country side people. I am a North America citizen and I love India. My favorite country In The World. You got this my Indian brothers and sisters!! Unity to India! 🇮🇳❤️🙏🕉😷🇺🇸

Then all of humanity will be wiped out, so the yuga cycles can start again.

    It has to do with this idea that poo is impure and shouldn’t be anywhere near your home. This is why street and river pooping is done, at least from what I’ve been told. There is a whole caste of people who have historically been tasked with cleaning public poo. Britain really pushed this idea when India was a colony.

    The dissolved oxygen level upstream in river Ganga is 8.9 mg per litre while in the downstream it is 8.3 mg per litre. This clearly shows that water quality has improved significantly and is optimal for bathing."There has been 40-50 percent improvement in the quality of water in Ganga," Dr. PK Mishra, Professor at Chemical Engineering and Technology, IIT-BHU told ANI. the real-time water monitoring data of the CPCB, showed that out of the 36 monitoring units placed at various points of the Ganga river, the water quality around 27 points was suitable for bathing and propagation of wildlife and fisheries. Union water resources minister Nitin Gadkari said 70 to 80 per cent of the Ganga will be cleaned by the end of March 2020. Nearly Rs 26,000 crore are being spent on cleaning up the holy river that’s highly polluted earlier

    I visited the Ganges when on holiday back in 2003 and 2004. For a river that is classified as sacred in Hinduism, I found a completely opposite waterway. I went down to the river's edge - the water was a dark grey colour with all sorts of bits and pieces floating on the surface. But most of all it was absoluetly stinking. And yet there were many Hindus bathing and washing themsleves in this toxic river. Unbelievable!

The native animals are killed and the plastic flows into the ocean where sea creatures consume the plastic. Beaches are covered in plastic bottles etc and the useless local governments( mostly corrupt) do nothing. The population doesn't what pay for the cleanup, only believing that saying a prayer and the problem will disappear.

    People do NOT pour nay dirt of the river themselves. The river is polluted because of the sewage infrastructure built by a corrupt government. All of the industrial waste and sewage channels mix into the river. This cause 99% of the pollution. For decades, us people have pleaded the governments to clean up the holy river. Finally, the government is setting up 100s of sewage treatment plants in the cities through which the river passes. If unfiltered sewage is prevented from entering the river, it becomes pure.

    That is FAITH for you. And why I'm an agnostic. NO JUDGING! By definition, I am open to every idea, I just need to be convinced. I'm a Canadian and it's ALLOWED here. It's even probably the main "religious" outlook of most of us by now. TOTALLY separating religion from politics is one of the BEST gifts we gave ourselves. A politician that would use GOD in a speech would be treated like a zealot freak here. We act DECENT, we don't act CHRISTIAN. That would be REALLY insulting to the hundreds of other religions in my country.

    Once I was in Haridwar. At the side of the Ganges I ordered a lemon soda. When the drink arrived in a glass it looked peculiar. Nevertheless I drank half of it, concluding the taste was not so good. And what I noticed too late was that the soda was in fact Ganges water, what the establishment took with bucket from the Ganges. I failed to put my fingers in my throat to my great regret. After this I had diarrhea, vomited and had fever for 10 days. With lots of trouble (weakness and fever) I managed to travel on to RIshikesh, where I received help from another traveler and where I stayed for a few days and consulted an Ayurvedic doctor. Than traveled to Mussouri, where they made kitchari (rice and mung beans cooked in dahi) for me to keep some strenght. OMG how sick was I. Another life lesson learned.

    ​ @Rose Maguire Please don't go for bottled water! The pollution by the bottles is tremendous. Carry your own bottle and fill it with filtered water. Today in India every hotel and guesthouse can provide you with filtered water. In the Himalayas springwater is also to be found. I live in Kashmir and I go to collect springwater; if that's not possible I "make" my own filtered water. Apart from this, as mentioned, I ordered sodawater and instead that place added Ganges water without my knowledge. So beware, this can happen in India. Incredible ndia.

    @nl3gq There was lemon in it, but the water was Ganges water and not soda. In India the most peculiar things happen, you cannot always be totally alert if you don't know what to expect. That's also the challenge of India. If you tell something about India the opposite is also true. For Indian Hindus Ganges water is sacret despite the fact that the Ganges is among the most polluted rivers on earth. At Haridwar the Ganges looks quite clear (unlike in Benares), so that's why I saw too late that it was that water that was in my glass.

I'm from Australia and I was lucky enough to travel to India with my mum, dad and sister in the 80's. Beautiful country, love the people, the poverty was so sad to see. I hope they can clean up the Ganges in some way, these people love their country and are very proud of it. For me when we arrived at night in Bombay, they smell made me want to go home. I don't like to share how I felt, as i do not want to offend people from india. I hope it's not so bad today, as I realy enjoyed my trip to India and so did my family.

    I'm indian and I'm feeling like there is no thing like "hygiene" exist here 😂.....I mean how can you drink that water which was polluted by corpses,religious ceremonies,flowers,mud, chemicals etc.......I'm too proud of my country but I'm not blind devotee,rather worship river with heart and keep rivers clean 🙏 Edit:-If we worship our rivers as mother then we should keep them clean and pollution free

    It mostly from industrial waste, and sewage. The greed is what causes those corporations to dispose of their waste cheaply into the rivers. I’m glad young educated Indians are taking notice and at least getting the conversation going and I’m ashamed of the role the west plays in it. I’d love to see it become truly clean again one day so it can become fit for religious practice again
