IIT Study: Ganga's Summer Flow Relies on Groundwater, Not Glaciers

A new study by IIT-Roorkee scientists says the Ganga River gets most of its water in the summer from underground water, not melting glaciers.

This is different from what people previously thought.

The study found that groundwater is very important for keeping the river flowing, especially in the middle part.

They also learned that a lot of the river's water disappears because it evaporates in the heat.

The scientists suggest that to help the Ganga, we need to take care of the groundwater and make sure the river has enough water.
