CLEAN GANGA

By Shatakshee Kashyap

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.
