Mula Mutha River

The Mula-Mutha River is a major water body flowing through Pune and surrounding areas in India. It originates from the Bhandarkar and Mulshi lakes and travels approximately 146 kilometers before joining the Bhima River. The river supports local agriculture, provides water for residents, and sustains nearby ecosystems. Over time, it has faced environmental challenges due to pollution, improper waste disposal, and urban development. Efforts are ongoing to improve water quality and maintain the health of the river, recognizing its importance for ecological balance, agriculture, and community livelihoods in the region.
