Dear well wishers of Ganges. It is best to have large dugouts at locations where small streams from communities join the main River. It would be beneficial to have road lanes at thse locations and to use mechanised JCB others to desilt dredge out sludges . These sludges are left to dewter dry out and taken for compost process with more bio mass. This is turned into soil improver and spread in agri farms etc. On main river flows too, sludges are contained in large dugouts to be dealt with . When thse wastes are reused then the communities feel confident to do more and more remediation practices. Well wishes Prof Ajit Seshadri. Vels University. Chennai .

I am extremely pleased to hear your viewpoint. Too many want it cleaned up but not in my town, attitude. let the government do it. Wrong. The more any level of government gets involved the less that actually gets done. Sadly most of the funding is siphoned off by those in control.
I have preached the same words as you in many countries. May I suggest a few variations for convivence sake. 1. Have "dugouts/ditches/canals next to every major road. Note: the standard V shape allows for excessive evaporation. Try trapezoidal.2. Build the holding tanks sufficient for that areas use. 3. Use the RNA microbial species for the bioremediation of all the contaminated waters. Sludges will be turned back into elemental nutrients ready to be used as a natural fertilizer or as a spray on maturing compost piles. This does include all humane waste as well as any toxic materials that have found their way into the stream.
Of course entities need to stop dumping into the river. People need to learn sanitation procedures. Please call or connect if you wish. I am a board member of the Ganges River clean committee.
