The River Ganga at Haridwar is affected by industrial waste, sewage, and pilgrims, but a recent study found that its water quality is good. The researchers measured different parameters like dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, and chemical oxygen demand, and found them to be within acceptable ranges. This suggests that the water in the river is relatively clean despite the pollution sources.
