Answer:
Ganga River — a lifeline to a “billion” who live along its course and depend on it for their daily needs. It is worshipped as the goddess Ganga in Hinduism and has been important historically, with many former provincial or imperial capitals located on its banks.
The Ganges was ranked as the fifth most polluted river of the world in 2007. Pollution threatens not only humans, but also more than 140 fish species, 90 amphibian species and the endangered . The levels of fecal coliform from human waste in the waters of the river near Varanasi are more than 100 times the Indian government's official limit.
More than half the total sewage discharged into the Ganga every day comes from six big cities with Kolkata, Kanpur and Varanasi leading the pack. They are three of the total 118 towns/cities that fall in the vast basin of the country's national river. The other three cities which figure at the top are Patna, Allahabad and Moradabad.
Together they present a gigantic task before the government which aims to bring these cities to a stage where each drop of sewage water they generate can be used by different agencies\sectors including industries and municipal bodies after treatment.
Underlining the 'gap' between sewage generation and treatment capacity, the water resources and Ganga rejuvenation ministry has already asked all five states - Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal - to submit their detailed project reports to enhance treatment capacities of these towns/cities.
Sharing city-specific details including amount of sewage generated in the six cities, the government on Monday informed the Rajya Sabha that the (NMCG) has received expression of interest from a number of foreign governments (UK, Germany, Australia, Canada, Singapore, the Netherlands) as well to support Ganga rejuvenation through knowledge and technology sharing and providing financial assistance.
