Phys.org reports the following. ENC is republishing it as an attributed briefing, not as independently confirmed fact. If this item is false or incomplete, the responsibility sits with Phys.org, which released it. An estimated 6 billion liters (1.6 billion gallons) of untreated sewage is discharged daily into the Ganges River Basin, home to 650 million people. Combined with seasonal monsoon flooding, the sewage and other pollutants, including agricultural runoff and industrial waste, create a major threat to public health.
