Pollution of rivers is a dynamic and complex system. Increasing population shall definately put pressure on the quality of nearby rivers. Yes, every thing is possible. We can give tertiary treatment to sewage and technically we can eliminate human pollution to rivers. But at what cost. Pollution of river has now become an emotional issue and emotions cloud reasoning. We must pause and think what is pollution. What pollution level is acceptable and achievable. What pollutants are more dangerous from Houses or from Industry. What shall be the cost involved for making our rivers clean. Is this cost acceptable when people are dying of hunger in many states of India. (Solely my personal views)
