The Ganga River is one of the most polluted rivers in the world, yet it is used by over 400 million people for domestic, industrial, and agricultural purposes. Without proper waste management procedures, the waste generated from inhabitants and local industries have been thrown directly into the river, resulting in heavily polluted waters. People are using this contaminated water out of necessity and it is causing many to experience gastrointestinal diseases that can lead to death if it is untreated. The pollution has caused less dissolved oxygen to be available for aquatic life, which resulted in a decrease of some plant and animal species. 

The main issue in the Ganga river is the water pollution. The main causes of water pollution in the Ganga river are the increase in the population density, various human activities such as bathing, washing clothes, and dumping of various harmful industrial waste into the rivers. The pollution of the Ganga river is having a great effect not only on the people, but also on the environment. All of the toxins that flow into the river can lead to many animal deaths. These compounds are highly toxic to both people and animals, and accumulate in the environment and body tissues. This issue needs to be fixed because it poses significant threats to human health and the larger environment.

Some solutions that can help save the Ganga River are:

1. Sewage Waste Management: Sewage waste mismanagement alone accounts for 80% of pollution in the Ganga River.
2. Industrial Waste Management: Industrial and toxic waste dumped at key stretches along the river leave the river toxic and account for 20% of the pollution.
3. Agriculture Management: Water intensive farming and run-off from inorganic farms, including dangerous chemicals like DDT and HDH, further aggravate the threats facing the Ganga River.
4. Solid Waste Management: Tons of plastic, polythene and other trash are thrown into the Ganga River, choking out life from her waters and blocking existing sewerage systems.
5. Renewable Energy: Various schemes to harvest electricity from Ganga’s waters have destroyed Her ecologically-necessary flows.
6. Ecological Management: Over-siphoning, deforestation, encroachment and other human activities are damaging the fragile ecosystems the Ganga River supports.
7. Awareness and Education: Spreading the information you learn can help others become more aware and active in preserving and protecting the Ganga River. 

So I demand that the government give the Ganga River some attention to help clean the river because it is home to so many people and it poses a great threat to human health and the environment.
