Until authorities don’t wake up, nothing can be done.

In about 118 towns located in the Ganga river basin, more than two-thirds of the sewage generated gets flowed into the holy river Ganga, thus making the task of its rejuvenation a long drawn process.

According to Times of India, experts from various govt agencies have noted that over 3,636 million litres per day (MLD) generated from these towns is against the treatment capacity of approximately 1,027 MLD of the existing 55 sewage treatment plants (STPs) in these towns spread over five states.

Underlining the “gap”, water resources and Ganga rejuvenation ministry has asked five states — Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal — to submit detailed project reports to enhance the sewage treatment capacities of these towns on both banks of the river Ganga and its tributaries.

The report prepared by the team of experts from six different organizations of the ministry including National Institute of Hydrology, Central Water Commission, National Water Development Agency and Central Ground Water Board highlighted about the poor infrastructure these towns have.
