Heartbeat of any civilization
Go back to history, unfold the pages of your history book, all great civilization established beside the rivers, That is why they called as the heartbeats of any civilization.
In the earlier time, the civilizations establish besides the river, the reason was that river is used for Food as Fish, Water to drink, for agriculture and other purposes, Fertile Soil for agriculture, river also used for transportation and trading etc.
In India rivers have religious and spiritual significance, we worship our rivers as goddess as a mother but what we are doing , is a shaming our religion. We forgot that Rivers have sacred meaning for us, we treated river as Mother, Due to these religious and spiritual significance,our rivers named as Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati, Kaveri, Brahmaputra. We believe that a man get pure by the touch of holy Ganga water, but today we are polluting it.
Today our rivers are dying, we humans are the reason behind this, we pollute our rivers in the name of wisdom, throwing trash and discharge untreated sewage in the river as dustbin. Obstructing the nature flow of river by making large dams instead of making natural dams.
Every city use river as sewage drain, rule is that all sewage, must treat first and then mix with river water, and then mix with river water at the end of city when it left city, but waste water treatment plan and other river cleaning plans money goes into the pocket of contractor, bureaucrats and politicians.
Self cleaning process of rivers reached to zero because there is no free flowing water, sewage dropped into river direct in the start or middle instead of end of the city.
We can build Delhi Metro, became Nuclear power, send satellites to space, organize Formula 1 race, large stadiums for cricket and other International events, so why can't we able to clean up our rivers. What we need is willpower to do that as a individual one, as a group as a government. It is a warning when you are not able to protect your natural resources, you will find scarcity of that resource very soon.
You are not killing rivers but you are killing yourself. So stop ignoring it.
When you neglect nature, nature will neglect you. Think again...
