Photo by @paleyphoto (Matthieu Paley). In Delhi, a boy combs the bottom of the Yamuna, one of India's holiest rivers, with his feet, looking for religious items tossed in from a bridge above. The objects, ranging from coins to small metal statues, can then be given to recycling shops for money. Because of the extreme level of pollution, authorities have instructed people not to wash their animals in the river. The stretch of the Yamuna that flows through Delhi makes up only 2 percent of its entire length, but accounts for 80 percent of the river’s pollution. An estimated 4,000 million litres per day of raw untreated sewage (domestic and industrial) are directly disposed in the Yamuna river every day. The smell is unbearable. According to the Central Water Commission, the level of Biological Oxygen demand in the Yamuna is 55 mg/L, as compared to the permissible 2mg/L that is necessary to break down organic matter. Currently, 50% of the underground water sources in the Indo-Gangetic  plains (home to over 500 Million people) is contaminated. The toxic black water flows first into the Ganges, then into the ocean, eventually reaching all of us. Shot on assignment for @ナショナルジオグラフィック
