Complete List of Famous Indian Cities on River Banks

Rivers, in general, embody many different values to different people.
- For example, rivers symbolize connections, since they touch everyone, and everybody in principle lives downstream.
- Rivers also symbolize human health, since freshwater from rivers is essential to our communities and ourselves. Another value embodied in a river is that of habitat, highlighting the importance of protecting freshwater ecosystems for fish and wildlife both in the river itself and along its banks.
Hindus have always believed that the water of the Ganges River has purifying powers.
- Although millions of people bathe in the river regularly, it does not usually spread cholera, typhoid, or other water-borne diseases.
- Scientists have found that unique bacteriophage viruses that destroy bacteria kill germs in the water of the Ganges.
