1. Presence of Bacteriophage

High Dissolved Oxygen Levels

– The river maintains high levels of dissolved oxygen (DO), which helps in self-cleaning and supports aquatic life.

Natural Sediments with Antibacterial Properties

The Ganga’s sediments, rich in clay minerals and organic matter, have antibacterial properties that help prevent bacterial growth.

Himalayan Glacier Source

Originating from the Gangotri Glacier in the Himalayas, the river is fed by pure glacial meltwater, which is naturally clean and mineral-rich

Self-Purification Ability (Auto-Purification)

The Ganga has an extraordinary self-purification mechanism that helps degrade organic pollutants, keeping its water cleaner than other rivers.

Self-Purification Ability (Auto-Purification)

The Ganga has an extraordinary self-purification mechanism that helps degrade organic pollutants, keeping its water cleaner than other rivers.

Presence of Unique Microbes

Scientists have discovered special microbes in the Ganga that help in breaking down pollutants, reducing the impact of contamination. b

Sacred and Religious Importance

Millions of devotees consider the Ganga holy and refrain from polluting it, leading to continuous conservation efforts by various organizations.

Fast-Flowing Currents

The river’s strong and continuous flow prevents stagnation and allows natural aeration, keeping the water fresh.

High Mineral Content

The Ganga’s water contains medicinal and mineral-rich deposits from the Himalayas, which contribute to its purity and health benefits.

Government Conservation Efforts

Various initiatives like the Namami Gange Mission focus on cleaning and preserving the river, ensuring its water remains pure for future generations.
