[ This is a photo from the Ganges. It’s not one of the 10 rivers responsible for most of the sea plastics but it is disgusting nonetheless. ]
They still crap in the street in India in some places.... Can we send the hippies in SF there, they wouldn’t know the difference.
Actually it is one of the top 10.
India puts EVERYTHING in the Ganges.....one, if not thee, dirtiest and vile rivers in the world! It’s toxic... They even bury dead bodies in there and the ashes of burnt bodies they actually cremate on the banks of the river, In Varanasi faith alone, an estimated forty thousand bodies are cremated ‘every year’, many of those are only half-burnt when they send the send the corpses down the river....... not to mention their sewage.... Coliform bacteria levels in the Ganges have also been tested to be at a level too high to be safe for even agricultural use let alone drinking and bathing....additionally they wash their animals and themselves in it. Like washing in the worst sewer in the world!
The Yamuna, the main tributary of the Ganges, is now the most polluted river in India. India’s national capital, lies on the Yamuna, and this megalopolis dumps 60% of its ‘untreated’ sewage into the river.
