Hi,
 
� The less capacity of sewage treatment plant lead to mosquito breeding and water borne diseases.
� Due to monsoon, treatment plants were shut down which further detoriate the river.
� Establishment of non specific Sewage Treatment Plants on highly productive crop lands.
 
� Shortage of authentic information on quality & quantity of waste generation, mode of disposal, possibilities for recycling, development of community treatment plants and cost effective treatment technologies.
 
� Insignificant cooperation between Central, State and Local Government bodies.
 
� Lack of local technical expert committees for monitoring the work.
 
� Improper mass awareness and involvement of Ganga users in different projects.
 
 
 
Hope it helps.
Good Luck!
