Ganga and Yamuna are key sources of drinking water for many villages, local bodies along the rivers.However, the professor stressed that dumping of bodies will not have a significant effect on transmission.
Dumping of bodies primarily leads to pollution of rivers, Tare said, who teaches environmental engineering, water quality and wastewater treatment."Even if the bodies of suspected Covid-19 patients were fished out, there is a lot of dilution that happens (during the flow of water).
The effect may not be significant," he said."If the water is passed for water supply, then it passes through the water supply system.
Normal treatment takes care of it," said Tare.He, however, added that there are patches where people draw water directly from.
