I believe everyone should have heard of India Ganges. The status of the Ganges in India is a bit similar to the status of the Yellow River in China. The Yellow River is the birthplace of our Chinese civilization, the Ganges River in India. It is the birthplace of Indian civilization. Countless Hindus regard the Ganges as a holy river. They are honored for being able to use and drink the Ganges water.
How disgusting is the Ganges water? Corpse dung is just the tip of the iceberg!
The Ganges water that countless Hindus desire to drink is not clean water. On the contrary, the Ganges water is yellowish and greenish water with an unpleasant smell. On the surface of the Ganges, there are not only all kinds of rubbish floating, but also the corpses of all kinds of people or animals that have died. Not only that, people also urinate and clean all kinds of things in the Ganges at will, and the water quality of the Ganges in India is becoming increasingly polluted. About 5,000 people die from water-borne diseases in India every day. Water-borne diseases are diseases spread by drinking and contacting contaminated water.
The Ganges water is obviously dirty, but why countless Indians don’t seem to see it? This has to start with an infectious disease in India at the end of the 19th century. At the end of the 19th century, an infectious disease broke out on the banks of the Ganges in India. Under normal circumstances, once an infectious disease occurs, it will spread quickly, which is quite difficult to control. But to the surprise of countless Indians, the infectious diseases on both sides of the Ganges River disappeared miraculously without much control. They attributed this to the Ganges, and since then believed that the water of the Ganges has magical powers. Their respect for the Ganges adds a little more.
Although the Ganges River is pure in the eyes of many Hindus, objective facts are objective facts.The Ganges water is very disgusting, and the corpses and feces can be said to be just the tip of the iceberg! The so-called purity is just their wishful thinking. Some scientists conducted tests on the water quality of the Ganges River. Through the tests, the scientists found that the water quality of the Ganges River was very polluted, both upstream and downstream, and the pollution level was even 800 times higher than the international standard.
India may face a greater threat
The pollution of the Ganges River by dead bodies and feces is only the tip of the iceberg. With the rapid development of industry and agriculture in India, a large amount of industrial and agricultural water containing heavy metals and pesticides has been discharged Inside the Ganges. It can be said that if corresponding measures are not taken to change this situation, the pollution level of the Ganges will be further deepened.
The number of E. coli in the Ganges water is one hundred times or more than the standard value set by the Indian government. But what makes people think and uncomprehensible is that Indians not only like to come into contact with the heavily polluted Ganges water, but also use water directly from the Ganges. Using Ganges water for washing and cooking seems to be the norm in Indian life.
The various pollutants in the Ganges water are enough to make people uncomfortable. Many people who travel to India, if they have sensitive skin, will feel uncomfortable on their skin after being exposed to some local rain in India. Not to mention direct contact and use of Ganges water.
There is no doubt that the degree of pollution of the Ganges River is further deepening, and the Indians turn a blind eye to the increasing pollution of the Ganges River. If it is left unchecked and people’s perception of the Ganges water is changed, India is likely to face a greater threat.
Ganges water governance
Faced with the increasingly polluted Ganges water, the Indian government has indeed begun to take some actions. In the past few decades, the Indian government has invested about 3.5 billion yuan. , Used to establish and improve the water treatment system,So as to improve the pollution of Ganges water. But what makes the Indian government regretful is that the effectiveness of governance is very insignificant. Later, the governance of the Ganges was gradually forgotten.
There is one place in India that the whole world does not understand, that is, many Indians do not have toilets in their homes. According to relevant statistics, about 53.1% of households in India do not have toilets installed, and about 61% of the rural population and 10% of the urban population have excretion outdoors. This move undoubtedly caused the Ganges excrement to float, but it is difficult to change their mindset.
In addition to people's stubborn notions, the governance of the Ganges River also has religious pressure. The Ganges River is obviously very dirty, but countless Hindus seem to be unable to see it, and still regard the Ganges River as a clean "Holy River". This has also led to a weak awareness of protecting the Ganges River. In the process of governing the Ganges River, there are areas that require their cooperation, and it is estimated that it is difficult for someone to respond.
