Guardian India correspondent Michael Safi takes a journey along the Yamuna river.

Stretching 855 miles (1,375km) across the north of the country, at its source in the Himalayas its water is crystal clear.
However, once it streams through New Delhi, it turns into one of the filthiest rivers in the world. Rapid urbanisation is partly to blame, but so is lax enforcement of laws against illegal dumping.

TJ Soulsurfer there are many different religions and beliefs all across India. That being said, unfortunately the Hindus still believe in a caste system, and at the bottom of that system are most likely the people you see defecating on the river. They don’t have access to a lot of money, and they are the ones who are forced to clean up after others. This leads them to use the river as a dumping ground because of the poverty they are in. In addition to this, there is no saying that the people we saw were Hindus.

The forms and black color of water you're Seeing it is due to Industrial wastes toxic chemicals producing by factories... Peoples doing Human activities from manny years, human activities like bathing, Washing clothes these things not pollutes river as much toxic chemicals producing by Industries involves in making pollute this river... Peoples shouldn't use Soap or detergent during bath and washing clothes like we do in ancient times But i have seen after polluted this river peoples started to throw rubish things in it😶 which is not acceptable they should be punish... I'm not saying peoples not involves in making pollute this river And Our govt. is corrupt they not making a Proper Drainage system for toxic chemicals producing by Industries.. yamuna wasn't polluted 30-40years back even it's water was drinkable that time Same condition with our GangaRiver...

[@shivampatnaik2000]

Hey, you can't just blame the government. The people are equally at fault. They throw non-biodegradable wastes into the rivers. The industries on the banks of the rivers illegally allow their toxic water to flow into the rivers. What can the government do if the people themselves don't understand the word 'pollution'? Historically, these rivers were considered sacred as their waters naturally had medicinal properties and higher oxygen levels than other rivers. But it's so sad that with the arrival of plastic and modern industries we have systematically killed these properties. Had these rivers been simply used for worship in the way our ancestors did, we wouldn't have seen this day. I feel very sad for my country's rivers. It took us a few decades to pollute the rivers that had been among the cleanest in the world for several millennia. What's more pathetic?

If Ganga & Yamuna are polluted today, that doesn't mean it's gonna stay like this. Efforts are being done to clean it up. It took more than 20 years to clean the River Rhine and these rivers are way longer than Rhine & Thames.
