“…In 1896, Ernst Hankin, a British bacteriologist explained the antibacterial property of Ganges water against Vibrio cholera [3]. Further, in 1916, Felix d'Herelle, French microbiologist introduced the world with "bacteriophage or phages" virus which is associated with the special property of river Ganges [4]. Bacteriophages are the prokaryotic viruses that solely infect and/or destroy the bacteria and can retain high amounts of dissolved oxygen, even in extremely polluted conditions [5][6].…”

Ganga River is the lifeline for socio-economic development of India. The unlimited desire of human and anthropogenic activities degraded the water quality of Ganga River, especially in Haridwar. The present study investigated the significant impact of lockdown on physio-chemical status of the Ganga River in Haridwar. Study also revels the significant augmentation of heavy metals as lockdown released, however, average daily dose and hazard index has advocacy in suitability of Ganga River water in Haridwar for their utility. Moreover, this is the first study that highlights Cancer Risk value of Arsenic (As) and Chromium (Cr) in Ganga River water in Haridwar exceeded over the target risk of 1 × 10 −4 . The values for As was calculated as 0.000172 -adult and 0.00074 -children, whereas, for Cr was estimated as 0.000067 -adult and 0.00029 -children. This indicates the ingestion of Ganga River water (except for Cr values for adult which is less than targeted value) in Haridwar for long time may increase the probability of cancer to the population. Therefore, it is imperative to formulate such policies and strategies that keep ritual values and maintain water quality.

In an era marked by growing water scarcity and increasing demand for efficient resource allocation, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a crucial approach for revolutionizing water resource planning and management. The chapter emphasizes how important water management is to maintaining ecosystems, sustaining human livelihoods, and promoting economic growth. It looks at how AI, which includes machine learning, data analytics, and optimization approaches, acts as a keystone in improving the precision of projections of water availability, allowing stakeholders to make wise decisions in real-time. These programs provide water managers with useful information that they can use to prevent emergencies related to water. The international community may collaborate to achieve sustainable water security by utilizing AI capacity to decode complicated patterns, predict possible outcomes, and optimize resource distribution. It is a necessary step towards a more resilient and water-secure future as difficulties related to water continue to worsen.
