What measures are being taken to control pollution in the rivers of India

Answer 1

Already many industrial estates shifted to one place which can facilitate to treat the effluents before discharging to the river. Effluent treatment should be compulsory to all industries. Sewage treatment system should function more efficiently. Government/corporations should take it seriously an should stop discharging partially treated   water in the canals or river basin. By removing the silt in the river and the river mouth the treated or untreated wastes can be disposed into the ocean which has its capacity to assimilate.
