Phase I was launched in 1985 to improve the water quality of river Ganga. Later Ganga Action Plan Phase II was launched in 1993.Various pollution abatement schemes such as setting of sewage treatment plant, diversion of sewage etc were taken up.
Nearly 2723 million litres per day (mld) of sewage is generated from Class I cities and Class II towns along river Ganga. Under the GAP, a sewage treatment capacity of 1092 mld (GAP-I: 869 mld, GAP-II: 223 mld) has been created at a cost of about 950 crores.
A National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA) was constituted in February 2009, as an empowered authority for effective abatement of pollutio. NGRBA resolved that under ‘Mission Clean Ganga’, no untreated municipal sewage and industrial effluent may flow into Ganga by the year 2020.
Under NGRBA, 53 projects amounting to nearly Rs.2600 crore have been sanctioned for pollution abatement schemes in the States of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal. A World Bank assistance of Rs.7000 crore has been approved for a period of 8 years for conservation of river Ganga.
