The majority of the Ganges' pollution is organic waste—sewage, trash, food, and human and animal remains. Over the past century, city populations along the Ganges have grown at a tremendous rate, while waste-control infrastructure has remained relatively unchanged. Sewage systems designed near the turn of the 20th century today do little more than channel waste into the river. Some 300 million gallons of waste go into the Ganges each day, and the effects are stunning: recent water samples collected in Varanasi revealed fecal-coliform counts of about 50,000 bacteria per 100 milliliters of water, 10,000% higher than the government standard for safe river bathing. The result of this pollution is an array of water-borne diseases including cholera, hepatitis, typhoid and amoebic dysentery. An estimated 80% of all health problems and one-third of deaths in India are attributable to water-borne diseases. The sacred practice of depositing human remains in the Ganges also poses health threats because of the unsustainable rate at which partially cremated cadavers are dumped. In Varanasi, some 40,000 cremations are performed each year, most on wood pyres that do not completely consume the body. Along with the remains of these traditional funerals, there are thousands more who cannot afford cremation and whose bodies are simply thrown into the Ganges. In addition, the carcasses of thousands of dead cattle, which are sacred to Hindus, go into the river each year. While industrial pollutants account for a smaller proportion of contamination in the Ganges, the health and environmental impacts of toxic chemical waste can be far greater. From the plains to the sea, pharmaceutical companies, electronics plants, textile and paper industries, tanneries, fertilizer manufacturers and oil refineries discharge effluent into the river. This hazardous waste includes hydrochloric acid, mercury and other heavy metals, bleaches and dyes, pesticides, and polychlorinated biphenyls—highly toxic compounds that accumulate in animal and human tissue. Runoff from farms in the Ganges basin adds chemical fertilizers and pesticides such as DDT, which is banned in the United States because of its toxic and carcinogenic effects on humans and wildlife. Damming the river or diverting its water, mainly for irrigation purposes, also adds to the pollution crisis. Rivers need fresh infusions of water to dilute and dissolve pollutants, and water flow is necessary to flush material downstream. this video clipping is about sankara and river ganges aum sairam (Less)

Louise & Stuart's Amazing India-Aarti Haridwar

We were (More) Aarti in Haridware The banks of the Ganges crowded with hundreds of people bathing in the holy Ganga. Aarti, like the religious ceremony celebrated in Varanassi, starts at sunset. We were surprised when by 6PM both sides of the Ganges were nearly full. By 6:30 there were literally thousands of Indians there to celebrate Arti! I have attended Arti in Haridware many many times, but this was like New Year's Eve at an Indian Times Square! It seems that tonight was special...Ganga's Birthday.....and when the Ganges River has a birthday, it goes all out! We managed to get a place to sit right at the main ghat. Out of thousands of Indians, there are only about 10 forigners MAX in all of Haridware at this time of year! Maybe it's because at 4:30 PM the sun is shining on the ghats like high noon on the hottest day of the year! Evening, however, is cool and wonderful on the river, which is all lit up and festive. That is when the place really comes to life. Daytime is for "dipping in the Ganges", and for kids diving for coins that worshipers toss in the cool, refreshing water. As we sat awaiting the music which heralds the start of Aarti, a speaker announced the arrivel of a special Guru. He arrived with an onterage and was greeted with cheers and waving hands. Behind him were men carrying a golden "Ark of the Covenant" type of shrine on a platform. It was festooned with bushels of flowers, which were thrown out and handed by the handfulls to the people. Leis of flowers were also tossed to the crowds. I was covered with flowers, and people passed some flowers on to people who hadn't gotten any. At a designated time everyone tossed the flowers backtoward the Ganges. One specially appointed gentelman squeezed his way through the crowd showering the throng with sweet lightly scented rose water from a funky pump propelled watering can. As it was a bit warm sitting in such a crowd, the shower of water on my head was a welcome respite. I just had to warn Stuart to cover the camera whenever I felt a splash or noticed the "water guy" approaching. The music started, incesnse, oil lamps with dripping hot wax and fire, and overhead...FIREWORKS! It was wonderful! I even got to hold a stainless steel plate full of fire, and make a circle with it and pass it on! With s much wax and fire, and women in Saris, it's always a wonder that no one is set on fire! Sweet offerings were given out at the end of the ceremony, as well as fruits from trays heaped with grapes and small peaches. Now that is what I call a birthday celebration. Although Arti is done nightly, it is not on such a grand scale. I guess that was enough for one day.
