The Ganga River is drying faster than ever in 1,300 years due to climate change, pollution, and overuse, threatening water security and economies.
The Ganga River, crucial to over 600 million people in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, is drying at its fastest rate in at least 1,300 years, a study in PNAS reveals.
Researchers from IIT Gandhinagar and the University of Arizona found the river’s flow has sharply declined since the 1990s, with prolonged droughts and reduced rainfall—especially in western areas—intensified by climate change, pollution, and groundwater overuse.
Rising temperatures and failing climate models that underestimate drying threaten water security, agriculture, hydropower, and ecosystems.
The river supports nearly 40% of India’s GDP, and urgent reforms in water management and forecasting are needed to address the growing crisis.
