Looking for global best practices is a good start but for a project this scale we will need innovative Ideas. The most promising technology is using Biochar to clean up the river. Biochar is easy to make and disperse. Just dispersing Biochar in large quantities into the Great Ganga would clean it off all the toxins. We can also build water treatment plants based on Biochar so that all water letoffs are clean before entering the river.

Industries are sent Industrial waste questionnaire. Inspection is done of the industrial facility. Toxins are measured.

Build sewage plants in every city and district. Do not let industrial waste water flow into Ganga.

Disposal of low-grade waste heat and waste water involves huge effort/ cost. A vacuum aided evaporation and condensation system creates the water cycle in compressed time and space to dispose of waste heat and liquids to give pure distillate and concentrated residue (assets). It can give huge savings. A small model worked well and can be scaled up to viable levels. It can play a big role in the ‘Ganga Action Plan’ to stop pollution, ensure zero-discharge and recover chemicals from effluents.

Uttar Pradesh do not have enough electricity to run the water treatment plants, we can utilize organic waste to produce power to run the treatment plants like UK store does. And we should ban leather use in India as it creates more chemical pollution to ganga, we have synthetic leather to replace it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/24/supermarket-food-biogas-power-uk_n_5611257.html

CLEAN GANGA ISSION must microevaluate the fct that IRF provides companies and individuals with the opportunity to be part of the solution and to establish an enduring legacy. . IRF is also a signatory to the ACFID Code of Conduct . These good practices ensure transparency and accountability, improve international development effectiveness and increase stakeholder trust.
