Description

The Ganges River, also known as the Ganga, is a sacred river in India that flows from the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal. It's the world's third-largest river and has the most populated river basin.
The Ganges river in India is more than 2,500km long and has the most populated river basin in the world.
Hundreds of millions of people and a huge range of wildlife rely on the river Ganges. But pollution, dams and removal of too much water (mostly for agriculture) have affected the flow and health of this vital river.
One of the river’s most at-risk animals is the Ganges river dolphin. There used to be tens of thousands of them, but now only around 1,200-1,800 are left in the river. Biggest threats to them include fishing (they’re targeted for the pollution, dams and barrages in the river.
