Solution
- The Amazon basin lies to the north of Brazil. The Amazon River receives a massive discharge of approximately 2 lakh cubic m/s. The River Ganga, on the other hand, moves slowly in the North Indian Plains due to its mild slope.
- The region around the Amazon Basin is covered with thick, deep equatorial rainforests, making it unsuitable for human development. However, the Ganga river basin is a very fertile region where agriculture is practiced on a huge scale. Furthermore, due to the abundance of water, this area is densely populated.
- Due of the disposal of industrial waste in rivers, the water has become polluted, which has a negative impact on human health.
Therefore, as compared to Amazon, pollution in the river Ganga will affect human life greatly.
