A boy runs past a pile of garbage along the river Ganges in Mirzapur, India, April 19, 2017. India's holy Ganges begins as a crystal clear river high in the icy Himalayas but pollution and excessive usage transforms it into toxic sludge on its journey through burgeoning cities, industrial hubs and past millions of devotees. Worshipped by a billion Hindus and a water source for 400 million, “Mother Ganga” is dying, despite decades of government efforts to save it. (Photo by Danish Siddiqui/Reuters)
