Ground Truthing the Ganga
Satellite imagery offers the macro view, but the truth of the river lies in the mud. Our Varanasi-based field teams operate as the critical validation layer for every algorithm we deploy. They deploy river gauges, collect water samples, and map the subtle shifts in the river's course that digital models might miss. This rigorous "boots-on-the-ground" approach ensures that our data isn't just mathematically sound—it's river-real.
We specialize in the difficult middle stretches of the basin, where industrial discharge meets agricultural runoff. By correlating historical discharge data with current flow rates, we identify persistent pollution sources and seasonal anomalies. This project workflow moves seamlessly from field collection to cloud processing, creating a longitudinal dataset that spans the entire monsoon cycle.

Signature Analysis: The Varanasi Restoration Pilot
A high-stakes intervention to map and mitigate illegal effluent discharge into the primary urban water supply.
Phase 1: Thermal Anomaly Detection
Using Landsat 8 thermal bands, we identified 14 distinct thermal plumes along a 12km stretch indicating illegal hot water discharge from industrial units.
NDVI & LST Analysis
Phase 2: Ground Corroboration
Field teams deployed multi-parameter sondes to verify satellite data. We discovered a correlation between thermal spikes and a 40% drop in dissolved oxygen levels.

Phase 3: Policy Implementation
Data presented to the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board resulted in the immediate closure of 3 non-compliant units and the installation of mandatory monitoring stations.
"The granular data provided by GangaAnalytics.digital gave us the undeniable evidence required to enforce regulations."

The Ganga Analytics Lexicon
Understanding the specific metrics we track is key to interpreting the health of the basin. Here is how we define success.
Deep Dive into MethodsTSS (Total Suspended Solids)
The concentration of solid particles suspended in water. High TSS reduces light penetration and harms aquatic vegetation. We measure this via Landsat SWIR bands.
BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand)
The amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms to break down organic material. A primary indicator of organic pollution.
NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index)
Used to monitor water bodies in satellite imagery. It utilizes the Green and Near-Infrared (NIR) bands to highlight water surface area.
Anthropogenic Load
The cumulative impact of human activity on the river system, including sewage, industrial effluent, and agricultural runoff.
