Answer 1

$answer$

River pollution in India has now reached a critical point. Almost every river system in India is now polluted to a great extent. As assessed by the scientists of the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur, nearly 70 per cent of river water in India is polluted. India has five major river systems, namely, the Ganga, the Brahmaputra and Indus river systems in north, and the peninsular, east coast and the west coast river systems in the south.

Many large rivers are closely associated with Indian culture and heritage. The pollution situation in our country is worse than that of some of the industrialised countries of Europe and America. The Ganga, the most sacred and important river of India, is regarded as the cradle of Indian civilisation. The 2,525 km long river starts from Gangotri in the Himalayas and joins the Bay of Bengal, at Ganga Sagar.
