This is the lowest grade which indicates the severity of pollution in the river water. Some fifty years ago the water of the Yamuna was clear and clean. Many water plants such as weeds, algae and shrubs grew in its water or along the bank of the river. These plants were the main source of food for aquatic creatures. A number of waterbirds could be seen along the river. With the onset of winter thousands of migratory birds would come here to feed in the Yamuna water.
