Ganga has been reknowned as an emblem of purity and divinty over millions of
years. The Indian culture worships it in the form of godess which emerges from
heaven. Well coming on how to preserve
and clean Ganga’s sacredness, I will suggest some of the action plans which
might be key towards the saviour of the sacredness of the river. The following
point could be included for the purpose from Uttarkhand till it merges to its
ultimate destination Bay Of Bengal. In my view point first of all we need to
stop further detoriation of the river.
1.
The preservation of Ghats through which ir
passes and the areas across the length of the river. We can make whole of the
area cemented that will preserve the natural beauty of ghats as well as prevent
erosion into the river.
2.
We must establish an advanced 2 step primary
treatment plants for the drainage and industrial waste that falls in the
river followed bt secondary and tertiary
treatment plants to remove the toxicity of the drainagge water, then we can direct
thar water to a closly established green area.
3.
A green area or a vegitation zone should be set
up just near to the river that will absorb
the after its tretment, development of such are will support 3
functions:-
a.
It will support the drainage water.
b.
It will attract natural habitat, birds and other
spices which can further migrate towards the river.
c.
It will enhance the beauty of near by area
increasing the green content of the city boosting oxgen level of the area and
absorbing air pollution as well.
4.
The worshipping, bathing into the rivier should
be regulated, only some ghats should be allowed for bathing pourposes and no
washing of clothes into the river be allowed.
5.
An area nearby should be developed where all the
garlands and other substances(chadhawa)
sould be made but not in the river these things could be dumped into that
supported green area.
6.
Throwing of natural waste, plastics and other
thing should be fined and stopped. The dead body remains should not be accompanied
by clothes, paper and other things flowm with the remains of persons.
7.
This will boost
up oxygen level of the river.
8.
In the Uttarakhand area where the flow of water
is actually very fast a national park could be set up to support wild life and
reduce the flow.
9.
Before entering the plains a dam can be created
to direct the flow of water towards areas of rajasthan and allied with a
cemented channel.
10.
The dunes kind of small island formed in the
plains within the river can be bestowed with flowering plants that would
attract birds and will make the region lively once again.
11.
The allied area should be cleaned and people
should be educated for cleanliness.
12.
A specific lightening work should be done int
areas and into the river with the help of fountains and channels that would
attract the foreigners and tourists.
13.
Musical fountains could be accompanied by
stories of ganga, ganga arti, mythological stories of the river with shiv
parvati and other gods. It historical importance and specialities of the
river.
14.
Initially
the lightening fountains could also be accompanied by importance of preserving
or river, how it is being polluted by us, what would the serious effect it the
river becomes dead. In short to educate people.
