Environmental problems associated with GANGA, #PART_9

The potential of hydroelectricity of GANGA, #PART_8

Concern has fully grown over the environmental impact of hydroelectric dams, as well as surround destruction for wildlife (terrestrial and aquatic), forced relocation of individuals living within the paths of dams and reservoirs, loss of agricultural land, and disruption of water supplies for inhabitants close to the completed dams. Some have concerned reductions within the quantity of power generated, redesigning dams to form them and their impounded reservoirs less intrusive, and even moratoriums on future dam construction in some areas.



Of bigger concern, however, has been the degradation in quality of the stream water itself. The Ganges basin is one amongst the most intensely occupied regions on earth, home to hundreds of innumerable individuals, with the result that the river’s water over a lot of of its course is very impure. scores of cities and cities dump untreated waste into the stream and its main tributaries, and dozens of manufacturing facilities contribute industrial waste. additionally contributing to high pollution levels are agricultural runoff, the remnants of partially burned or unburned bodies from funeral pyres, and animal carcasses. High levels of disease-causing microorganism, as such toxic substances as chromium, cadmium, and arsenic, are found within the Ganges.

An introduction of The Great Holy Indian River, GANGA

Coordinated efforts to clean up the stream began in 1986 with the establishment of the Ganga Action plan (GAP) agency by Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. though the agency did initiate and complete variety of projects geared toward reducing pollution levels, its efforts were typically deemed inadequate and failures. In 2009 a brand new government organization, the National Ganga river basin Authority (NGRBA), was launched as a successor to the GAP. The NGRBA additionally faced criticism for inaction in its early years of existence.


At last I would like to convey that " Save Water, Coz day by day its being Shorter."
