The health of Ganga River has seen significant improvement since enforcement of the nationwide lockdown that has led to reduction in dumping of industrial waste into it, experts have said.

India has been placed under a three-week lockdown since March 24 with its 1.3 billion people instructed to stay home in view of the coronavirus outbreak, which has claimed 50 lives so far and infected over 1,965 people in the country

The Ganga river water was found to be suitable for bathing at most monitoring centres, the Central Pollution Control Board data showed.

According to the real time water monitoring data of the CPCB, 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

The parameters that the monitoring stations monitor online are dissolved oxygen (more than 6 mg/litre), biochemical oxygen demand (less than 2 mg/litre), total coliform levels (5000 per 100 ml) and pH (range between 6.5 and 8.5) to assess the health of the river.

Earlier, other than stretches in Uttarakhand and a couple of places as the river enters Uttar Pradesh, the river water was found to be unfit for bathing the whole way till it drains into the Bay of Bengal in West Bengal

Answer:

We have seen the environment around us rejuvenate during the lockdown and animals at places where we would normally not expect them to be at. Not only have air pollution levels come down, but the water quality of the polluted rivers has also improved in India.

It has been reported that the quality of water in River Ganga has improved during the lockdown period as humans stay in quarantine, keeping the Ganga Ghats deserted. With the factories discharging toxic industrial waste into the river closed, certain stretches of the holy river in Uttar Pradesh have become cleaner. One-tenth of the source of pollution to the river is the industries. Regional diesel motorboats have also stopped. Limiting chemicals that go into the river has helped bring the water pollution levels down.

Recently, a video of clue blue water of the Ganga river, near Lakshman Jhula in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, went viral. The video shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda shows the quality of Ganga water on April 24.
