Where Can I Get GIS Data for Ganges?

Question

Hello, 
I am an architecture student from new Zealand looking to build and create some maps of the Ganges for my new study project. Could someone please tell me where I could find the appropriate data for contours, roads, building, water footprints and GIS data related to Ganges? 
Kind Regards,
Seb

Seb, you can download some data from Indian Remote Sensing Organisation's website dedicated to Mission Clean Ganga. They have developed a website called Bhuvan where you can get data sets available for-
Hydrological Layers ( Basin Boundary , watershed boundaries- i assume with counter maps, Drainage network ) Water Quality at diff stations STP town locations Soil data  Land Use Land Cover SIS-DP​ Also for major town settlement - you will get some maps.
All these data base are avialble on this site - http://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/bhuvan_links.php#
I hope this will help you, do you need any other specific data layer? Let us know the detail of your study project and its objectives. Best  luck.
