According to Indian Environmental Society , Pollution of Yamuna accounts for pollution of Ganga. River Yamuna with the total length of around 1,370 Kilometers (851 miles), is the largest tributary of the Ganges River in northern India. Yamuna is considered the most sacred among all the rivers as Hindu mythology. Its source is at Yamunotri, in the Uttarakhand Himalaya, in the Himalayan Mountains. It flows through the states of Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, before merging Ganges at Allahabad. The cities of Delhi, Mathura and Agra lie on its banks.

According to a study conducted by Anil Kumar Misra (2010) , the Yamuna ( The largest tributary of the Ganga) is one of the most polluted rivers of the India. It originates from Yamunotri glaciers in the lower Himalayas at an elevation of approximately 6387 meters. The barrages formed on the river are playing a major role in escalating the river pollution. River can be divided into five segments on the bases of hydro-logical and ecological conditions. Water quality of only one segment (Himalayan segment) meets the river water quality standards.

Frequency of landslides in India is indeed increasing.

Malin, the village in Pune district that was flattened by a landslide few days back claiming more than 130 lives, has brought the focus back on the management –or mismanagement – of the vulnerable hills of India especially Western Ghats, Himalayas and North Eastern states.

Recent observations from India, China, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bhutan indicate rapid shrinkage of glaciers. Such tendency has been observed both in large debris-covered and small debris-free glaciers, with varying response times and sensitivity to climate.

Its impact is nearly everlasting.

The Ganga river basin needs lot of research work to collect data related to different aspects. Apart from technical things various socio-economic aspects also need an indepth reseach.In order to generate awareness among people and enable them to participate at a meaningfull level ,we are planning for a reseach centre in India. Please write your feedbacks and suggestions to make this great venture possible.

According to R. Balaji Rajaet al (2011) Ganga water is believed to be self puricatory in nature which is the reason behind the uniqueness of it. The study was aimed at demonstrating the self puricatory action of Ganga water against a clinical pathogen such as Streptococcus with Millipore water as the standard.

 Attention must be given to geology of the area in future.   By Dr. Nitish Priyadarshi Geologist. This was one of the most challenging disasters till date at Kedarnath so much so that even after few days also it was really tough for a human mind to calculate the loss. It made everyone busy. Media is covering as much as they can. Indian army, air force, navy all are focusing here to save the human lives. Still death is uncountable along with other losses. Analysis differs.

The upper stretch of the Ganges is located in Himalyan region of India.According an article published in Frontline by Purnima S.
