hello this is your answer
Agra is situated in the downstream of Delhi, and water from Yamuna river enters in this city frequently. Human waste and chemical waste are heavily contaminated the rivers and it’s downstream. Clean Yamuna initiated by government has failed and in Agra untreated waste as well as solid waste can directly dilute into this river. An upstream barrage can block this pathway of Yamuna river and save the Taj Mahal from the water pollution. So to save the wonder of the world, we need to keep clean the Yamuna river and we also need to include proper waste and sewage disposal system in Agra
Yamuna : Rivers in India are not just the water bodies but worshiped as God and Goddess and being revered as sacred. Despite such an esteem status, rivers are being polluted due to open sewage drains, lack of sufficient sewage treatment plants, soil erosion, and by dumping plastic garbage in river water etc. One such example where every cleaning effort has failed is that of the river Yamuna. The Yamuna River once had ‘clear blue’ water but now the river is one of the most polluted rivers in the world especially around New Delhi. The capital dumps 58% of its waste into the river. Pollutants are increasing at an alarming rate in the river water. Days are not far when Delhi homes will have polluted water than ever before. Presently 70% of Delhi is drinking treated water of the Yamuna River.
Taj Mahal : Built 350 years ago by the Mogul emperor Shah Jehan as a mausoleum for his wifeMumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal was built of marble, jade, turquoise, lapis lazuli and other precious stones. But its shimmering white walls have begun to fade owing to the effect of pollution from vehicles, factories and workshops in the nearby city of Agra. Pollution has begun to mar the walls of this monument.Despite serious efforts by the Indian government to curb air pollution around theseventeenth century monument, its shimmering white marble is turning yellow. Airborne particles began settling down on the Taj Mahal’s shimmering white marble, imparting it ayellowish tinge.In the past the authorities have established an air pollution monitoring centre in Agra.They found that while air pollutants like nitrous oxide and sulphur dioxide were withintolerable limits, the suspended particulate matter reached very high levels except in rainyweather. Corrosive acid rain is also believed to be behind the discoloration of the TajMahal’s marble. The Yamuna River flowing by the monument is heavily polluted withsewage and industrial wastes and sometimes emits a foul smell which further pollutes the air.
