This study is primarily done to identify the various growths of dangerous bacteria in river Ganga and their impact on human and other animals. The primary requirements of the project are to examine the microbial development in water and their colony features by conducting the biochemical tests of the microorganisms. The evaluation of the quality of water was done by conducting various plots followed by MPN technique and the different parameters acquired from them include pH, conductivity of water, DO and biochemical oxygen demand ranges of water, faecal coliform value, and total coliform value. The microorganisms that are generally causes of the pollution of river Ganga are Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens, Actinomyces sp., Aerobacter aerogenes, Arcobacter cloacae, Micrococcus sp., Salmonella sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus sp., Shigella sp., Streptococcus faecalis, diplococcus sp., Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella sp., Clostridium welchii, and Bacillus anthracis. Another sources of pollution of Ganga River include human wastes and industrial risks. The primary criteria of the evaluation are to raise a concern among the people of India to halt the excessive abuse of River Ganga.
