GANGA JAL

#ashokasays Did you know 57:

Hindus have always believed Ganga Jal to pure, pious and drinkable no matter what. Much reverence is given to Ganga water during Hindu rituals (from birth to death).
An Indian environmental engineer, D.S. Bhargava after three years of thorough study of Ganga concluded that Ganga is able to reduce its biochemical oxygen demand level much faster than other rivers. Bhargava says, organic materials usually exhaust a rivers available oxygen and starts putrefying. But in the Ganges, an unknown substance acts on organic materials and bacteria and kills them. He further adds Ganga's self-purifying quality leads to oxygen levels 25 times higher than any other river in the world.
