ENVIRONMENT- IMPACT
The growing urban activities have left these water bodies in vulnerable state. Due to lack of planning the rivers presently face growing levels of pollutants and rapid degradation, creating unhygienic conditions. Therefore, the city has turned its back to these rivers. These highly neglected rivers have raised concerns amongst the authorities and the citizens of Pune. In order to cope up with these current issues and create a meaningful public realm along the river, the Pune Municipal Corporation has taken up the River Rejuvenation Plan for all three rivers in entire Pune Municipal Corporation area along with Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation, Kirkee Cantonment Board & defense authorities. This will revitalize the rivers, after clean environment, enhance the surrounding areas and create a city level asset. The Mula, Mutha & Mula-Mutha River Rejuvenation Project aims at transforming these rivers into a valuable asset for the city, creating a memorable identity for Pune. The Mula, Mutha & Mula-Mutha River Rejuvenation Project incorporates a comprehensive proposal which is unique and context specific, providing large public realm. It proposes a resilient river edge to mitigate the threat of flooding. The Master Plan also intends to integrate other parallel relevant projects like infrastructure proposals undertaken by JICA. The riverfront is proposed to be developed as a green and recreational space that can transform the existing neglected waterfront into a centre for social, cultural and recreational activities in the city. The Mula, Mutha & Mula-Mutha River Rejuvenation Project will transform the waterfront into a vibrant socio-cultural destination and improve people’s interaction with nature, developing a nature oriented sustainable public space which will improve the environmental health of the city and enhance quality of life of the residents.

PHYSICOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF MULA MUTHA
The population increase in Pune city during the last 2-3 decades has been particularly rapid with a resultant effect on the increase of water pollution level. To serve the vast population, only one sewage treatment plant is there in Pune city, which has a capacity of 90 MLD (million liters per day). The plant has almost 50%-55% efficiency of treating waste water and remaining untreated effluents are usually discharged into the rivers directly (4, 5). Mula-Mutha River is one of the major vulnerable river of Pune city. Mula originates from Mulshi dam & it passes through Paud, Lavasa, Wakad, Balewadi, Baner, Aundh, Khadki, Vishrantwadi and ends at Sangamwadi. Physicochemical analysis of Mula Mutha
