RIVER--------- A LIFE LINE FOR HUMAN CIVILIZATION


The existence of life mostly depends on the natural resources like water , air and food. If one out of these  diminishes then it becomes a threatening object for the survival of human existence. Though this is very known fact that all ancient civilization grew faster at the bank of river .But the life pattern changes according to the situation of the environment. The growth of human civilization in all spheres occurs due to the inquisitive necessity for human society.  The trial to fulfill the necessity compel to discover so many modern method to easy the life style. unknowingly it effects our environment so badly now that its difficult to live life normally. In this way , we experience how global warming gradually effect our environment and it directly put pressure on the untimely climate change . But , the main subject for concerning is to think about the condition of river.
The flow of water at the river bed is gradually receding due to climate change . I personally have experience about the condition of river Ganga . One of my personal tour to Haridwar had seen the speed flow of water  and its deepness at the year 1995. Never think one day river Ganga will became face the scarcity of water. The environmentalist are warning so many times in different awareness programme and in many conferences that the life saver river Ganga will one day a fatal for the people of India . My recent visit again on 2018 to Haridwar and different tourist locations near River Ganga gave me enough chance to realize the threatening matter for the river.

I did not see the same flow of speed of water in Ganga river.At  some point i realized that there must be so many reasons that is effecting the river which are the life line for the people of India.While moving towards the upper most northern part of India land sliding at the hilly areas are the regular norms for everyday. It is not only effecting to the ecology  system but also it disturb the regular life of normal human society.Each and every tourist locations at Uttarakhanda, WORK AT PROGRESS ,DRIVE SLOW...these banner we crossed in every check post. Lobourers were through out day were busy to blast the hills for widening the roads. Numbers of tress at the hill areas are falling down due to this work.

The recent reviews from scientists has come out regarding the climate change hits the glaciers at Himalaya. 76% glaciers of Himalayas have shown loss in area of ice cover.The retreat will impact the water level in the Ganga.

The recent reviews from scientists has come out about the status of glaciers and how in future effect to the Himalayan river.Chaturanga glacier , a tributary of the gangotri glacier is retreating at a considerable rate and may vanish in future.the retreating glacier is another example of the impact of climate change and it will effects water flow in the Ganga , fed by the Gangotri.

Numerous efforts from government policies for saving the river may not help us to protect the condition of river.Its the responsibility of each and every individual to take steps in various method to protect our environment . The greediness of  accumulating so many materials in one time compels us to destroy the natural resources from our earth. So, be aware . At least as a civilized human being we should make effort for saving this Earth by planting numerous samplings at open and hill areas. At least it can save our climate and the life saving glaciers may not recede in future. Try not to throw any waste materials at the rivers . Create awareness among the community who are living near the river bank not to pour any industrial wastage at the river. Its not the duty of the government to look after the healthy condition of river but each one of us should take pledge to save the river. so that our so called modern civilization will exist beautifully for longer.
