WWF: Many major rivers are in danger of dying

Climate change, pollution, over extraction of water and development are killing some of the world’s most famous rivers including China’s Yangtze, India’s Ganges and Africa’s Nile, conservation group WWF said on Tuesday. The Geneva-based group said many rivers could dry out, affecting hundreds of millions of people and killing unique aquatic life.
