GANGES
Ganges is the greatest river of India.The river starts off from the gangothri glacier.Recapturing the glories of Ganges Jawaharlal Nehru wrote:Ganges is the river of India ,beloved of her people ,round which are interviewed her racial memories ,her hopes and fears ,her songs of triumph ,her victories and her defeats.She has been a symbol of India's age long culture and civilisation ever changing ,ever flowing yet ever the same Ganga.Now all this is a far cry.Ganges is largely polluted by us.Climate change will affect the water level in Ganges.If it comes true ,Ganges will lose its perennial status and will be a seasonal river.
