Explanation:

This article provides a short note on Ganga Action Plan (GAP).

For ages the Ganga has remained the lifeline of India. Water of the river has been used for drinking, farming, washing, navigating etc. so much so that a sentimental bond has grown up with the river.People love and respect the river, and even worship it as divine entity. A large number of religious centres have grown up all along the length of the river viz., Gomukh at the point of origin and Kapil Dham (i.e., Ganga Sagar) at the final destination.

In between there are important places like Hardwar; Varanasi, Prayag in Allahabad, Patna and Kalighat in Kolkata city. The flow of the river extremely reduced over the years due to creation of dam and high rate of water abstraction in upstream of river. As such, the pollution problem of the river enhanced manifold.

A comprehensive survey of the Ganga Basin was made by the Central Board for Prevention & Control of Water Pollution directorate that river, despite its extraordinary resilience, is heavily polluted at several places. Considering these facts, the Government of India constituted the Central Ganga Authority in February 1985 to evolve a long term programme for restoring the quality of the river.

Ganga flows through primarily three states—Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal. The main sources of pollution are urban and industrial wastes from 29 class I cities (i.e., those having population of over 1 lakh), 23 class II cities (i.e., those having population of over 50,000 & 1 lakh) and about 48 towns (i.e., those having population of less than 50,000).

All these towns are located along the 2,525 kms stretch of the river from Gangotri to Gangasagar. It has been examined that bulk of the pollution of the river is caused by municipal wastes, particularly by untreated sewage.
