In what ways did industrialization affected the ganges river ?
Answers
The main cause of water pollution in the Ganga river are the increase in the population density, various human activities such as bathing, washing clothes, the bathing of animals, and dumping of various harmful industrial waste into the rivers.
Due to rapid urbanisation the number of industries grew rapidly. The industries pollute the river ganga by:
*draining chemical effluents in the water without proper treatment
*hot water is drained out this polluted the river
Industrialisation has polluted the river ganga so badly that the water is not even fit for drinking today.
Industrialisation has led to the drainage of chemical waste into the river which has led to the acidification of the river. The drop in the ph value has made it difficult for the survival of aquatic life and animals
