Answer 1

Just as there is a standard Process of inviting God or Demigod to kindly stay within the deity (called Prana Pratishtha) so that we can render service and prayer to him.
Similarly if the deity gets Old or Broken, there is a Standard process of asking God or Demigod to kindly leave deity and enter another new Deity so that the worship and service can be performed properly. When the personality leaves the deity then there is a proper way in which the elements with which the Deity is made, can go back into its origin. And that is Called Wisarjana.

But currently people have taken up a Fanatic Concocted Practice.
When a particular festival comes they make Big Big Deities and Worship them for few days, and after that Dump the new Deity into water.
This is a Great Insult to the Demigod like Durga or Ganesh or Saraswati. Vedic Literatures does not allow this...
If you want to invite Supreme God Krishna or Demigods like Ganesh or Durga for serving and worshiping, then you must construct a Proper Temple or place and worship it regularly. Why do you dump new deities into water??
But the Rascals will do that...
They only care for Collecting lot of Money, Making a lot of Noise and Show off and Thus enjoying themself in the name of Spritual or Pious Activity... They Get lot of Money, and now they put Film Songs and engage in illicit Sex, and they drink wine and Gamble and do all kinds of sinful activity..
This is the way these Rascals degrade Vedic Culture..

Answer 2

Before you take the Ganesh idol for visarjan you must ensure that you do an aarti. All the family members must be present for this aarti. You must offer Ganesha these five items before you take him out of the house. These are oil lamps, flowers, dhoop, franance and food. After the aarti one family member must move the idol an inch forward. This is to tell the Lord that he will be taken out of the house for visarjan. After ten minutes of doing this you must thank the Lord for coming to your house and blessing your house. Also ask for forgiveness if you have done any mistakes during the stay. Also do tell him to come again the next year.

Ganesh, Durga are seen not as a physical entity but a higher spiritual being, and murtis, or statue-representations, act as signifiers of him as an ideal. Thus, to refer to the murtis as idols betrays Western Judeo-Christian understandings of insubstantial object worship whereas in India, Hindu deities are seen to be accessed through points of symbolic focus known as murtis. For this reason, after sacred days the immersion of the murtis of Ganesh (and Durga) in nearby holy rivers is undertaken since the murtis are acknowledged to be only temporal understandings of a higher being as opposed to being 'idols,' which have traditionally been seen as objects worshipped for their own sake as divine.
