The Indian Ganga river basin (IGRB) is one of the most fertile and densely populated river basins in the world. Spread over 844,247 sq. km, the IGRB is mostly covered by agricultural land and deciduous vegetation. The basin is experiencing the cascading effects of human interference and climate change, leading to vegetation loss, soil degradation and expansion in mining and industrial activities.
