Conservation of river ganga by traditional method?

Conserve the Ganges River - The Ganges river has been considered one of the dirtiest rivers in the world. The extreme pollution of the Ganges affects 400 million people who live close to the river. The river waters start getting polluted right at the source.As it flows through highly populous areas the Ganges collects large amounts of human pollutants, e.g., Schistosoma Masoni and faecal coliforms and drinking and bathing in its waters therefore carries a high risk of infection. Along the 4 miles (6.4 kilometres) stretch of terraced bathing ghats in the holy city of Varanasi, the water of the Ganges is a "brown soup of excrement and industrial effluents." The water there contains 60,000 faecal coliform bacteria per 100 ml, 120 times the official limit of 500 faecal coliforms/100ml that is not considered safe for bathing.And you want to conserve this mess of a river. You should put your efforts towards cleaning the river of its extreme pollution so Indians can be very proud of it again.
