I do not hope that without maintaining minimum water flow as per prescribed norms in different months of year in Ganga and its tributaries, Ganga can be cleaned and rejuvenated . The agriculture sector wants to use every drop of rivers and ground water in unscientific and haphazard unplanned manner, thanks to the Agriculture and Water Resources Ministry. It will be better for the NEETI AYOG / Ministry of Water Resources to start planning of, purifying sea water, for drinking and other water needs of India.
