Saving The Ganges-3

Saving The Ganges-3 
Picture It Self Explains. Think Wise.
The Ganges suffers from extreme pollution levels, which affect the 400 million people who live close to the river. Sewage from many cities along the river's course, industrial waste and religious offerings wrapped in non-degradable plastics add large amounts of pollutants to the river as it flows through densely populated areas. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that many poorer people rely on the river on a daily basis for bathing, washing, and cooking The World Bank estimates that the health costs of water pollution in India equal three percent of India's GDP It has also been suggested that eighty percent of all illnesses in India and one-third of deaths can be attributed to water-borne diseases.
