Ganges River - Clean Up & Summary

The Ganges Basin with its fertile soil is instrumental to the agricultural economies of India and Bangladesh. The Ganges and its tributaries provide a perennial source of irrigation to a large area. Chief crops cultivated in the area include rice, sugarcane, lentils, oil seeds, potatoes, and wheat. Along the banks of the river, the presence of swamps and lakes provide a rich growing area for crops such as legumes, chillies, mustard, sesame, sugarcane, and jute. Fishing also provides opportunities to many along the river, though the river remains highly polluted.

With my wife and my young son i did several time and you know what? we are still alive! in USA, billy852007, when you shit the water going to the pipe , to the decanting factory it could even happens you will drink this water, when you eat your faty Mc'Donald with your Coke full of bad chimical , you never asked yourself.

better than Union Carbide to Bophal?????

I agree.

In response, the Indians will ask every white skinned person, whether they have eaten any beef in their life time, and if yes, they have to submit to instant blood tests to determine mad cow disease and a plethora of other diseases at the already long immigration line.

Billy852007, go get a life! Believe it or not, we need India and China more than they need US. This century is theirs. I laugh at our politicians when they say that the better days are yet to come!
