A few dolphins are also found in Chambal river. Generally, it lives in the river which is deep and calm. Although, Ganga is deep and calm at various places but it flows through India which is one of the densely populated regions of the world. India releases a very large amount of dirty water in the river. Moreover, sedimentation due to deforestation, fisheries, navigation in the river, release of industrial waste, etc. have together caused severe danger to the extinction of these dolphins.
