Lockdown impact: Health of water bodies improves
According to the experts, the health of the Ganga river along with its tributaries, Yamuna and Hindon, has improved significantly since the enforcement of the nationwide lockdown that has led to reduction in dumping of industrial waste into it.
The experts have recommended to validate the visible improvement with proper data and study on the level of pollution coming from the industries.
Similarly, Cauvery and its tributaries in Karnataka are regaining their decades-old status in terms of water quality, informs the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB). The lockdown has also breathed life into polluted creeks and rivers in the Mumbai region as industrial effluent and other waste that flows into them daily has reduced in volume by 50 percent.
