It is nothing but part of the campaign of aspirants of the Oval Office to scare the voters, coz you know, we love to be scared, and love the guy (or gal nowadays maybe, especially in NYC) who scares us the most. It shows they care. As always, love all the sarcasm in your writing. Bah, humbug!

So can we say that the Ganges is self-cleaning? :P It "cleans" itself of bacteria at least :) Vivek Kumar: Cat-alytic converters indeed :) Good one.

Candadai Tirumalai: Yes, sadly now only baleful bacteria survive in the Ganges.

Kamini: Exactly, it’s just the lead :)

Re the ability of the Ganga to destroy bacteria, the common joke around my house is that the water in the river is darned polluted its no surprise that no bacteria survives!

But for some decades now the pollution of the Ganges, as of rivers elsewhere in the world, have been a main concern. I know of some, including a relative, who crusade actively for the purity of rivers.

As the old jungle saying (No. 374) goes, you can't lead a horse to water, but you can unlead water with a cat. If you’d owned a cat, you could’ve made a catalytic converter to purify water.
