There may be technical problems too. The water of the Ganges may be holy
but I've been there and it is not notably pure in a scientific sense.
There would be *major* problems with silt deposition. (I suppose you
could filter it first, and add stuff to prevent fungal growth and so on,
but if you dump antifungals into it I'm not sure it really counts as
Ganges water anymore.)
