Mithi River in Mumbai received attention of the entire world. • The Mithi River originates from spillovers of Vihar and Powai Lake traverses through Mumbai's suburban areas viz. Seepz, Marol, Andheri and then flows below the runway of International Airport and then meanders through areas of Bail Bazar, Kurla, Bandra - Kurla Complex and meets Arabian sea at Mahim Bay after flowing below 15 bridges for a length of 17.84Km. • Mithi River with Catchment area of 7295 ha. has its origin at 246 m. above mean sea level and has a total length of 17.84 kms. Out of this, 11.84 kms is under jurisdiction of MCGM (Planning Authority as Local Authority) and 6 kms is under jurisdiction of MMRDA (Special Planning Authority for BKC) for carrying out the Mithi River improvement works. The 6 Km in MMRDA portion has tidal effect. • GoM took number of initiatives for revival of the Mithi river including appointment of Fact Finding Committee chaired by Dr. Madhavrao Chitale in August 2005, establishment of Mithi River Development and Protection Authority (MRDPA) in August 2005, appointment of expert organisations viz.

  • Presentation on Conservation and Revival of Powai Lake
    Presentation on Conservation and Revival of Powai Lake by Shri M.R. Sohoni Dy. Municipal Commissioner (Special Engineering) Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai Conservation of Powai Lake by Using Bioremediation Technique BRIEF HISTORY Powai lake was created in 1891 by constructing dam between two hillocks across Mithi River. Catchment area of the lake is about 600 hectors and water spread area at full supply level is 220 hectors. Top level of the dam is at 195 Feet T.H.D. level. Length of the dam is about 110 mtrs.and height is varying from 6 mtrs. (maximum ht.) to 3mtrs. (minimum ht.) Lake is deteriorated due to accelerated growth of residential, commercial and industrial area around the lake & quarrying activity in the catchment area. The lake water is not used for drinking purposes but for non potable purposes i.e. gardening and industrial use. This lake was included in "National Lake Conservation Plan" by MoEF, GoI in the year 1991. Conservation of Powai Lake by Using Bioremediation Technique (Contd.) In the year 1995, B.M.C. prepared and submitted D.P.R. for these works to GoI but the same was not approved. In the month of March 2001, M/s. Wockhardt Co. submitted DPR with an estimated cost of Rs. 10.51 Crores for conservation, as well as beautification of lake. In June 2001, GoI approved DPR and sanctioned Rs. 6.62 crores for "Conservation of Powai Lake" with its allied works. Scope of Work The scope of work consists of the following activities for improving the quality of Powai Lake Water by using BIOREMEDIATION TECHNIQUE to bring the values of various parameters of the lake water upto the values required for maintaining Eco-balance.

May 29 – June 3, 2005 2 (12) A DESIGN FOR ECO-SUSTAINABILITY: LESSONS FROM A STRESSED ENVIRONMENT IN MUMBAI Introduction: The importance of environmental sustainability is now well recognized even by the developing countries. However, the economic compulsions that have become even stronger in the face of the globalization, the cities are facing intense competitions to attract international capital and corporate offices leading to policies where environmental well being gets a lower priority. The current focus of planning in the city of Mumbai on the proposals like creation of new Central Business Districts, Information Technology parks, luxury housing townships, flyovers and freeways, shopping malls, golf clubs, multiplexes and other high-end entertainment centers, all designed to project an up market and global image illustrates the point. In the process, the city environment is under strain as never before, but unfortunately that does not figure in any calculation. Assessment of the impact of development projects on the ecosystems is now absolutely critical besides the technical, economic and political factors.

  • Analysis of Physico-Chemical Properties of Powai Lake During
    International Journal of Researches In May 2014 ISSN No. (Online) Biosciences, Agriculture & Technology Issue-2, Volume-II 2347-517X ANALYSIS OF PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF POWAI LAKE DURING FESTIVE SEASON IN MUMBAI METROPOLIS Aparna S. Gund and Umesh B. Kakde Dept. of Botany,Government of Maharashtra’s Ismail Yusuf College, Jogeshwari (E), Mumbai-60 Abstract Water is a valuable natural asset and also a fundamental natural resource and is the most essential necessity of life. In India, lot of religious activities take place throughout the year. The immersion of idol during festive seasons is a major source of contamination and sedimentation to the lake water. The Ganesh festival is one of the biggest festivals in Mumbai. The festival also generates a large amount of holy waste (Nirmalya) in the form of flowers, decoration materials, oil and other religious offerings. After the festival the Ganesha idols are immersed at the various beaches and lakes across the Mumbai city. These idols are made up of non- biodegradable materials like plaster of Paris (PoP) and synthetic paints used for making these idols. This can pose a serious threat to water quality and aquatic life and water environment. To access the water quality, the water samples were collected from Powai Lake points before, during and after the Ganapati visarjan and analyzed for different physico-chemical parameters. The parameters like pH, Temp., DO, COD, Chloride, Sulphate, Phosphate, turbidity etc. were considered to find out the effect of idol immersion activates on quality of water. It has been observed that the values of some parameters were significantly increased during the immersion period and then declined in the post-immersion period.

Mitter Head and Associate Professor, Department of Zoology, Sathaye College, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India Abstract: Water supply has been a consequential problem in the metropolis cities like Mumbai ever since people have started to migrate from their native places to towns and cities. The potable water comes to Mumbai from long distance and supplied by Municipal Corporation after being filtered to international standards. Lake is a body of water surrounded by land. The Vehar Lake has situated in the heart of the suburban about 18 miles away from the North of Mumbai. It is formed by damming three valleys with earth embankments. Total capacity of lake is 9,120million gallons, with catchment area are 2,883 acres, excluding the lake area which is 1,800 acres when filled. The quality of water has now become a serious problem due to human activity and population explosion. Hence periodic assessment of water quality is required for proper management. Key words: Municipal Corporation, international standards, catchment assessment, management. 1. Introduction: A modern water war is brewing in the cradle of civilization [9]. Due to urbanization; with increasing population the requirement of pure water is increasing many folds [4]. Throughout the world both in developing and under developing countries water authorities are still trying to find out ways and means to augment the existing sources of water supply. Each drop of water must be count because water sources are limited.
