message: Who's the twit who insists on adding these lines about "self-purification" when this article along with the main Ganges articles clearly states that the place is a cesspool of excrement? Enough with this babble. Removed. 76.10.147.14 (talk) 13:46, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The statement was sourced so I readded it, but I did reword it to make it more NPOV.  The river is a cesspool of excrement, but apparently there are studies which have shown that fewer people get sick drinking this excrement than other excrement. The sources are in conflict but still it is not appropriate to remove one referenced point of view and leave the other. Talk to me if you want to work on rewriting this article.

thread_title:  Self-purification 

message: Somethings I see missing from the article and will be trying to work into it are more of the reasons behind the pollution, such as mining along the riverbanks and damning; how this pollution is affecting species living in the river, specifically the Ganges River dolphin; and lastly, specific cases of diseases and deaths that have been linked or associated with the pollution in the Ganges.

message: I also think that you should expound more on the reasons why the river is polluted. I think that you should talk more about the religious reasons as to why the river is polluted too among other reasons, but in a way the article doesn't sound 'too religious' as the first editor put it.

replies: text: Because no where in whole Vedas, they tells you to use a river for rituals, not at all.. It's more of society's belief, than religion. Bladesmulti (talk) 02:11, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

message: There is also a scaled down project  possible first to utilise Ganga flood waters flowing in India without involvement of Bangladesh and later it can be augmented to receive Bramhaputra river water also with the cooperation of Bangladesh.
It is feasible by transferring surplus water of Ganga river / Farakka Barrage by storing Ganga water joining the sea from the Hoogly river mouth. Nearly 37 bcm capacity fresh water reservoir (5,000 square km area) can be established in the shallow sea by constructing sea dikes / bunds/ Causeway up to the depth of 15 meters from the sea coast line. This fresh water reservoir located on the sea area stretches from sagar (near ) to the mouth of Brahmani River (near ). From this reservoir, water is pumped up to the elevation of nearly 425 m MSL (near to ) in the Brahmani river basin for further transfer in most of the area of Damodar River basin, Subarnarekha River basin, Brahmani River basin, Mahanadi River basin in Jharkhand, Odisha, Chattisgarh and West Bengal states. Further, water can be pumped in to the Bagh reservoir (near ) and Upper Indravati reservoirs (near ) to transfer Ganga water in to Godavari River basin and further to southern river basins. The Hasdeo Bango reservoir (near ) would receive the Ganga water and further pumped in to the Narmada, Tapti, Luni, Ghaggar, Yamuna, Sutlej and Ganga basins for using in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, south Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, Delhi, etc See Google earth maps for more geographical information. The advantage of this scheme is that Ganga river water can be stored on Bay of Bengal sea area of India and more than 60 bcm water annually transferred throughout the year to other river basins and southern uplands of Ganga basin with optimum pumping head. 
Haldia harbour operations would not get disturbed by this scheme by constructing gated barrages across the two creeks of the Hoogly river. Only right creek of Hoogly river is connected to the fresh water reservoir and the left creek is open to the sea via locks for ships movement. The barrages across the creeks would reduce the transport of sediment in to the creeks / Hoogly river from the open turbid sea due to wave and tidal activity.
Later the reliable waters  (nearly 4,000 cumecs or 120 bcm annually) of Bramhaputra river can also be pumped in to the Hoogly river basin to reach the existing fresh water reservoir on the sea area via the proposed Ganges Barrage Project in Bangladesh. Thus nearly 180 bcm Ganga and Bramhaputra river water can be ultimately put to use for irrigation, drinking, industrial salt export requirements and water pollution control in all major rivers of India.183.82.199.109 (talk) 15:22, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
