The Yamuna is the Ganga's most important tributary. This river, like the Ganga, is well-known and revered. Water quality degradation caused by pollution poured into water bodies from allochthonous and autochthonous sources is fast leaving natural water bodies unfit for a variety of human needs, including drinking water, bathing, navigation, fishing, and irrigation. Over-pollution of such sacred rivers has been discovered to encourage microbial diversity, which elevates Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and organic load in the water, polluting the water. A greater BOD suggests a low oxygen concentration as well as a higher pathogen (microbial) content. The study discovered that as a result of increased pollution in the Yamuna River, fungal biodiversity is expanding, and that it varies based on seasonal and climatic variations.
