India Stems Tide of Pollution into Ganges River

The Ganga is unmistakably holy, made so by thousands of years of religious practice, however, recently threatened with heavy pollution load.

Past rescue efforts of Ganga Water Pollution Control have failed due to fatal gaps in planning, implementation, and administration, said Prof. B. D. Tripathi, of the Centre for Environmental Science and Technology, Banaras Hindu University.

A new cleanup plan for the entire 416,000 - square mile (1 million square kilometer) Ganges River Basin is gathering steam, but it will take decades and cost tens of billions of dollars.
