These Images Are Mother Ganga Crying Out To Us To Save It From Our Apathy, Please Wake Up India
印度恒河遭到严重污染 活人同浮尸共浴
Our holy river Ganga begins as a crystal clear river high in the icy Himalayas but pollution and excessive usage transforms it into toxic sludge on its journey through burgeoning cities, industrial hubs and past millions of devotees. The major causes behind the deterioration of the water body are: increase in population density, activities such as bathing, washing clothes, bathing of animals, and dumping of large quantities of detrimental industrial waste into the river.
印度神圣的恒河起源于高耸的喜马拉雅山的冰川,是一条清澈透明的河流。但在通过众多新兴城市,工业中心和数百万信徒的聚居区后,污染和过度利用使恒河变成了有毒的污水。恒河水体恶化的主要原因是:人口密度的不断加大,诸如民众洗澡、洗衣服、动物洗澡以及向河里倾倒大量有害工业废料等活动。
Worshipped by a billion Hindus and a water source for 400 million, "Mother Ganga" is dying, despite decades of government efforts to save it. Below are 22 pictures that show glimpses of the majestic river and how it is being eaten up by the ill effects of pollution.
