There is a plethora of information available on the river Ganga in
the form of books, blogs, articles, websites, videos.
Unfortunately, most of the information about this famous river is
in a scattered form and reproduced from unverified sources. This
contributed volume is the first multi-author volume publication on
this subject. The River Ganga includes a vast array of topics
written by several authors of distinction. Topics include;
hydrology, tributaries, water uses, and environmental features such
as river water quality, aquatic and terrestrial flora/fauna,
natural resources, ecological characteristics, sensitive
environmental components and more. Part I gives a basic
introduction of the Ganga river. The existing data and available
information from various sources has been compiled in a pictorial
fashion in the form of cmaps. Its cultural importance with changing
times is also discussed. Part II looks at the rich biodiversity of
the Ganga Basin. It gives a detailed description of the major
floral and faunal biodiversity with special emphasis on the
national aquatic animal dolphin and Sunderbans, the largest
mangrove wetland in the world. Part III examines 'The Ganga Water
as it flows'. It focuses on the water quality as well as its
associated challenges. Part IV looks at the complexities of issues
confronting the river 'Ganga in changing times' be it snowmelt
runoff, river bank erosion hazards and hydropower assessments; how
the factors of population, poverty and pollution contribute to the
fate of the river. Part IV touches on economic aspects derived from
the river such as business opportunities and tourism.
