and halves burnt bodies into the river.
3. Research and Development on conserve the biotic, multifariousness of an river to
augment its productivity.
8. 4. New technology of sewage treatment
like Up-flow Anaerobe Sludge Ceiling (UASB)
press sewage treatment through afforestation has
been successfully developed.
5. Rehabilitation of soft-shelled turtles for
pollution abatement of river have been
demonstrated and create useful.
6. To act as trend setter for include up similar
action schedule in other grossly polluted
stretches in other rivers.

an approach of integrated river basin management
considering which various lively inter-actions
between abiotic additionally biotic eco-system
9. Phases concerning the GAP
Phase – I Phase – II
Phase – ME, hurled in June 1985 was the first Since GAP Phase – MYSELF did not cover the pollution
attempt away Government to clean the river Gaza. load of Ganga fully, SLIT Phase – II was To accomplish this task a entire of 2061 projects approved from 1993 on nursing. It inserted and away pollution disposal covering 25 towns in Gomti Action Plan, Yamuna Action Plan and
3 states – UP, Bihar & West Bengal were Damodar Planned Plan and Mahanada Action
sanctioned at a cost in Rc. 462 crores. Planning
10. The VOID was not able to achieve its
