The Ganga and its Tributary Son
The Ganga and its Tributary Son
River Ganga is a lifeline for millions. It drains a basin of extraordinary variation in altitude, climate, land use and cropping pattern. Ganga has been a cradle of human civilization since time immemorial. It is one of the most sacred rivers in the world and is deeply revered by the people of this country. Despite being highly revered and being the primary water resource for the heartland of India, the Ganga river is today seriously polluted and under extreme environmental stress. Hence its rejuvenation and management requires participation of all through the concept of a mass movement or Jan Andolan.
The Ganga and its tributary called the Son: In ancient times the area along these rivers to the south of the Ganga was known as Magadha. Its rulers were very powerful, and set up a large kingdom. Kingdoms were set up in other parts of the country as well.
Ganga basin is the largest river basin in India in terms of catchment area, constituting 26% of the country's land mass (8,61,404 Sq. km) and supporting about 43% of its population (448.3 million as per 2001 census). River Ganga, emanating from Gangotri Glacier at Gaumukh, transverses a distance of 2525 kms before flowing into Bay of Bengal. A large number of tributaries like Alaknanda, Ramganga, Kali, Yamuna, Gomti, Ghagra, Gandak, Kosi and Sone, draining 11 states of the country join River Ganga at different confluence points during its journey.
