Abstract Water pollution is major global problem of today's world which has harmful impacts on human and water bodies directly and it also affects the environment as well. Major source of this pollution is untreated sewage. Ganges is one of the holy rivers which has historically been associated with religious sentiments and holy beliefs. It is one of the largest river bodies of the world which serves water to more than 40% of India's population for their livelihood. However, its significance, quality and usefulness are threatened by human waste and industrial contaminant which is harmful for both environment as well as human health. Pollution in Ganges is identified as increase in various human activities (direct disposal of harmful industrial waste and dumping other waste products). Many initiatives have been taken by governmental and non- governmental actions to clean the river but have not been successful in delivering the desired results. Organic enzyme is made up of organic substances which are easily available at every home. Organic enzyme is one of the best solutions for the treatment of raw water before dumping it into the rivers so that it may not have harmful impacts. It improves the major water quality parameters as it help to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in water and decrease the amount of BOD (Bio-chemical oxygen demand) in river water and also improves various parameters of water including water quality like (pH, turbidity, alkalinity, hardness etc).

Keywords: Organic Enzyme, BOD, Dissolved Oxygen, Pollution.
