Revitalization Of Nala

1.1 Background

India is endowed with extraordinary diverse traditional water bodies found in different part of the country. They play an important role in maintaining and restoring the call logical balance. However, they help in shaping the growth of the city. People in India are not aware of the climatic change happening because of the activities they have done. Urbanization has led to creation of more concrete structures by occupying the open lands. Increase in these concrete structures is the reason behind degradation of land. Same way, nowadays even the water bodies are affected due to the illegal construction happening. The water bodies are lost or decreased because human activities are increasing day by day. We are lacking in providing interest after all the treatment that could preserve this water-body. The largest source of water pollution in India is untreated sewage. The surface water in India is polluted due to industries, untreated sewage and solid waste. In order to achieve the goal of revival of water bodies, it is important to understand that one solution may not fit all the water-bodies. Depending on the purpose, ecological services, livelihood and socio-cultural practices, the approach will vary from one water body to another.

In current scenario, Pune has originated on the confluence of Mula-Mutha river, and therefore the river contributes much more in the growth of the city. The natural water system of pune is spread all over the city. But due to rapid growth of the city, the green cover is decreasing and the water quality is deteriorating.
