Answers
Answer:
don't throw temple things in rivers
Answer:
The river Ganga originates in the Himalayas, roughly three hundred miles north of Delhi and five miles south of India’s border with Tibet, where it emerges from an ice shrouded cave called Gaumukh and is known as the Bhagirathi. Eleven miles downstream, gray-blue with glacial silt, it reaches the small temple town of Gangotri. Below Gangotri, the river’s path is one of increasing degradation.

As Ganga enters the plains at the ancient pilgrimage city of Haridwar, it picks up the effluent from sugar refineries, distilleries, pulp and paper mills, and tanneries, as well as the chemical contaminated agricultural runoff from fields. By the time the river reaches the Bay of Bengal, more than fifteen hundred miles from its source, it has passed through Allahabad, Varanasi, Patna, Kolkata, a hundred smaller towns and cities, and thousands of riverside villages—all lacking sanitation.
Consequentially, Ganga absorbs more than a billion gallons of waste each day, three-quarters of it raw sewage and domestic waste while the rest industrial effluent, making it one of the ten most polluted rivers in the world. As such, cleaning India’s national river is no simple task and has been the objective of many activists, environmentalists and politicians, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
