The Ganges River
by Phoebe Judge and edited by Katie Davis (The Story, APM/WUNC, 2012)
The Ganges, a 1,500-mile river that flows through Northern India, is a place where people bathe, wash clothes and pray. It is also where waste lines pour out sewage every day. Producer Phoebe Judge travels to the city of Varanasi, where she meets people who live along the Ganges River and want to clean it up.
