Making the list.
So Fortune recently published a list of the 25 dirtiest cities in the world. And yes, New Delhi, the place I've been living for the past year, makes the cut. It comes in at number 24 and they highlight the Yamuna River — the city's main source of water and a place considered holy by observant Hindus — as a major source of pollution and a breeding ground for disease. It may once have been holy water, but now it's the dumping ground for the city's raw sewage. That's more than 13 million people going to the bathroom in one big drain. Don't forget all the towns and cities north of the river that flush into it as well. Delhi, however, rates better than Mumbai, which pulled in at number seven.
I hope to have piece out on the Yamuna River and the people who bathe in it, soon.
