    The Ganges is a trans-boundary river that flows through India and Bangladesh. It originates from the Gangotri Glacier in the Himalayas and flows south and east through the Gangetic Plain before emptying into the Bay of Bengal. The Ganges is a sacred river and lifeline to millions who live along its course but is severely polluted, posing dangers to humans and wildlife. Efforts to clean up the river through the Ganga Action Plan have been considered a failure.

    TThe Ganges (/ˈɡændʒiːz/ GAN-jeez) or Ganga (/ˈɡʌŋɡə/ GUNG-

    gə, Hindustani: [ˈɡəŋɡaː]) is a trans-boundary river of Asia which flows


    through India and Bangladesh. The 2,704 km (1,680 mi) river originates from
    the Gangotri Glacier of western Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, and
    flows south and east through the Gangetic Plain of India and Bangladesh, eventually
    emptying into the Bay of Bengal.[4]
    The Ganges is a lifeline to millions who live along its course.[5] It is a sacred river and
    worshipped as the goddess Ganga in Hinduism.[6][7] It has been important historically;
    many former provincial or imperial capitals (such
    as Prayagraj, Dhaka, Baharampur, Bikrampur, Kampilya, Kannauj,[8] Kara, Kashi, Kol
    kata, Murshidabad, Munger, Patliputra,[8] and Sonargaon) have been located on its
    banks.
    The Ganges is threatened by severe pollution. This poses a danger not only to
    humans but also to animals; the Ganges is home to approximately 140 species of
    fish and 90 species of amphibians. The river also contains reptiles and mammals,
    including critically endangered species such as the Gharial and South Asian river
    dolphin.[9] The levels of fecal coliform bacteria from human waste in the river
    near Varanasi are more than a hundred times the Indian government's official limit.
    [9]
     The Ganga Action Plan, an environmental initiative to clean up the river, has been
    considered a failure[a][b][10] which is variously attributed to corruption, a lack of will in the
    government, poor technical expertise,[c] environmental planning[d] and a lack of
    support from the native
