Water Hyacinth

A handful of wonderful Water Hyacinth photos I identified:

Water Hyacinth

This is a near up of hyacinth in the river Yamuna, the river that is the main source of drinking drinking water of significant metropolitan areas in North India, such as Delhi and Agra.

The hyacinth appears excellent from the close up, but only I know how challenging it was to stand the stink it makes. The inset displays a much broader view of the place.

The Yamuna is dying, and we are strangling it more challenging working day after working day. When will we end destroying character?
