Pollution of the Ganges (or Ganga), the largest river in India, poses significant threats to human health and the larger environment.[1] Severely polluted with human waste and industrial contaminants, the river provides water to about 40% of India's population across 11 states,[2] serving an estimated population of 500 million people or more, more than any other river in the world.[3][4]
Today, the Ganges is considered to be the sixth-most polluted river in the world.[5][6] Raghubir Singh, an Indian photographer, has noted that no one in India spoke of the Ganges as polluted until the late 1970s. However, pollution has been an old and continuous process in the river as by the time people were finally speaking of the Ganges as pol
luted, stretches of over six hundred kilometres were essentially ecologically dead zones.[7]
Yamuna.
1) The number one cause (as per every report published by the government as well as NGOs) is the discharge of untreated effluents from the factories that lie in towns and cities along the Yamuna river.
2) The second major cause (in this order) is the discharge of untreated sewage (from our bathrooms and toilets -for those Indians fortunate enough to have a bathroom!) from houses and spaces in the large cities as well as small towns that lie close to Yamuna river and its tributaries (the pollution starts much before Delhi - the Yamuna has already turned into a Molotov cocktail of toxic chemicals and garbage before it has even reached Delhi and Agra).
This starts right from Wazirabad where there are 15 large drains that empty themselves into Yamuna of their untreated sewage and chemicals
