Why would Ganga water be the same everywhere? It has lots of tributaries.
Eh. I've never been to the Ganga, but I have been on the Yamuna's banks. Didn't seem all that different from Germany's rivers. I've swam in the Main here in Frankfurt which nobody does and is actually illegal at most places in the city (stupid freedom-hating prosecution-fearers who would prefer continuing not to have to deal with the issue are behind that. The river was pretty toxic in the 70s - but in the 60s, the river certainly was much dirtier than it is now, and people did swim in it. It looks dirty, of course, but it always has done. That's just good Franconian earth.) And I've waded the Tungabhadra which struck me as very clean for a river that size.
