Plastic bags also pose a serious danger to birds and marine mammals that often mistake them for food. Thousands die each year after swallowing or choking on discarded plastic bags. Finally, producing plastic bags requires millions of gallons of petroleum that could be used for transportation or heating.

Main problem that arise there is soil erosion. Sediments are taken away. In order to avoid this soil erosion we have plant more trees there and also we have make some concrete like boundary like near sabrmati in Gujrat also to avoid removal of sediments. We have stop deforestation further. Also we have to stop reconstruction of houses near river banks and specially stop the waste coming from factory ( In kanpur from leather factory).
