A possible solution they are working on - "A new cleanup plan for the entire 416,000-square-mile (1 million-square-kilometer) Ganges River basin is gathering steam, but it will take decades and cost tens of billions of dollars, according to the World Bank.]]> 2017-03-20 14:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsmith21cccs/psuq7n32zo0r/wish/161203506 https://padlet.com/mrsmith21cccs/psuq7n32zo0r/wish/161204239 The Ganges river, most likely the most important river in all of India, is also India's largest septic tank. Every day, over 500 gallons of sewage and waste are poured into the Ganges. And yet, there are many people who still bathe and drink the water, ignoring that the water is full of bacteria. But another food resource is being overlooked in the whole scheme of pollution prevention. Fish are an vital source of protein for millions of people around the world, and the case is no different in India. People rely on the fish they catch in the severely polluted rivers in India, and they are both undernourished and sick as a result. Luckily, there are some changes being made, although they are not doing as much as they could be. That will hopefully come in time. But government officials just recently have closed tanneries that have been pouring chromium into the Ganges, and have cancelled the construction of a super highway that would have led to more waste being thrown into the river. Steps are being taken, but there is a long way to go yet. ]]> 2017-03-20 14:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsmith21cccs/psuq7n32zo0r/wish/161204239 https://padlet.com/mrsmith21cccs/psuq7n32zo0r/wish/161206562 Source:http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/11/111123-india-ganges-river-pollution/
The Ganges river has been polluted for a long time, and it is unlikely that it will be reversed. It would take billions of dollars and decades to clean it. However, the Indian government has shut down factories that dump pollution into the river and set standards for pollution. This is just one way that the Ganges river can be cleaned up. While it is helping, there is still waste being dumped into the river and people are drinking it. The government, in order to help clean it even more, should put in more water treatment plants along the river to help clean some of the water.]]> 2017-03-20 15:02:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsmith21cccs/psuq7n32zo0r/wish/161206562 istorres_jones https://padlet.com/mrsmith21cccs/psuq7n32zo0r/wish/161206757 Answering the first question a possible solution for the water pollution is, according to the article is a very large clean-up plan. Another solution for water pollution is for the government to get even more involved in stopping companies from dumping their waste in the river.
Pollution impacts the way of life in India because most people in India believe that the river is holy and people wash their sins off in the river. But they cant do that is the river is filled with pollution like toxic chemicals.

It is not only unsafe to the people, but unsafe to the environment. There are freshwater fish that live there, and because of the pollution it is making them malnourished as well. The people eat the fish too, so then they eat the sickness. Cleaning up the river would take billions of dollars, and decades to clean. However, there have been a few steps taken in keeping it cleaner. Indian government has shut down factories that pour waste into the river, and has set standards for the pollution. ]]> 2017-03-20 15:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsmith21cccs/psuq7n32zo0r/wish/161208695 https://padlet.com/mrsmith21cccs/psuq7n32zo0r/wish/161210271 There are many possible solutions that are available to help with the water pollution in the Ganges. One way is the new clean up plan, even though this will take decades and cost billions of dollars, according to the World Bank, it can still be done. Another way is the companies being banned from dumping toxic waste into the river each year. The water pollution impacts the way of life in India because their drinking water is no good if it is polluted and people can't survive without water. ]]> 2017-03-20 15:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsmith21cccs/psuq7n32zo0r/wish/161210271 https://padlet.com/mrsmith21cccs/psuq7n32zo0r/wish/161212711 source:http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/11/111123-india-ganges-river-pollution/
The water pollution in India has taken over many things being that it has been a very long time it has been like this. To help would cost millions of dollars and take decades if done properly. Since this is the hard way to get it back to normal why don't they decrease some things till they get to there goal. India could give out jobs for people to clean up the river like people do in America for community service. They could also set some some laws about littering, in America we have laws about littering and if caught we get finned. The way to fix this pollution problem is handling one step at a time especially for India and the way to start is by handling the people which is already happening because there government has stoped companies from pouring waste into the river.]]> 2017-03-20 15:17:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsmith21cccs/psuq7n32zo0r/wish/161212711
