Recently a consortium of seven IITs came up with a report on the level of pollution of River Ganga.
The consortium is preparing a Ganga River Management Plan
1. What did that report say?
By 2020, no untreated municipal sewage or industrial effluent will flow into the Ganga.
Q. Despite several initiatives taken for cleaning the River Ganga, the river is still to be restored into its pristine form. Describe the reasons of the current state of the River Ganga and various steps taken by the government to clean it. What do you think could be the reasons for the failures of all such attempts?
The consortium is preparing a Ganga River Management Plan
1. What did that report say?
- Attempts to clean Ganga by conventional pollution controlled methods have proved to be ineffective
- Dams and barrages have snapped its longitudinal activity
- Human activity including industrialization, urbanization, deforestation and a complete absence of provision along the river for waste water disposal has reduced the Ganga to its current condition
- Ecological restoration is one area which needs immediate restoration
By 2020, no untreated municipal sewage or industrial effluent will flow into the Ganga.
