Ganga water can be kept in bottle for many days and it remains the same as was kept,but other waters can’t be kept like that.What is the scientific cause behind it.plz explain.
i don’t want to hurt someone but the real thing is :- above two answers are wrong.
The correct thing is:-
1- The water of ganga contains enormous amounts of Viruses called " BACTERIOPHAGE ".
these viruses just kill becteria and algae, which cause the water pollution and thus the water is pure long and long.
these viruses(bacteriophage) just infect the becteria and microbes and have no effect on humans, hence they are not dangerous.
2- The Himalaya has lots of unknown and very precious medicinal plants and herbs, the river ganga
flows from Himalayas thus it contains some amounts of those chemicals in the shrubs and plants sap.
this further purify and add to the quality of water in the holy river ganga.
" ganga is a holy pure river "
