英语听力：自然百科 圣河之旅 The Ganges 恒河—22

 In Kampool the river is effectively dead. No one ever thought this would happen. All the rubbish and sewage from the city goes into the river Ganges. Kampool has 400 tanneries. They also drain their poisonous water into the Ganges. Rack showed me a channel he said was carrying tannery effluent directly into the river. So this channel here is taking filthy¹ water straight into the Ganges. Yes, this contains heavy metals, acids, dyes and other chemicals used by tanneries. It’s all in there. It’s all in there. It’s a poison. Hindus, they take mouthful of Ganges water. Can you imagine taking this water. Can someone dare drink directly from Ganges this place.
