Ganga: The Endangered Mother

Varanasi, INDIA

2021-2022

India's Ganges River Basin is one of South Asia's most critical freshwater systems. Nearly half a billion people rely on this river basin for its waters. For Hindus, the Ganga river is often referred to as Ma Ganga or mother, accepting all and forgiving all. The word "Ganga" literally means "to flow".

The Ganga is almost synonymous with India, and is one of the fundamental threads of the nation's spiritual and cultural ethos. This river has witnessed significant climate change in the last few decades. Due to its deteriorating condition, people residing around the river are suffering heavily.
