A Hindu devotee Jagdish Maharaj, 62, drinks polluted water from the Ganges
River, as the world marks World Water Day, in Allahabad, India, Thursday, March
22, 2007. Maharaj said he has been drinking the water for the past 20 years. A
report released by the World Wide Fund for Nature Tuesday lists the Ganges among
the 'World's Top 10 Rivers at Risk,'' which are severely impacted by
over-extraction and climate change and are dying fast.[AP]
