Pawana sanskruti (Rotary club walhekarwadi)

A brook (small stream) brought wastewater from Kiwale village as well as nearby villages and it was being discharged into Pawana river without any treatment. As a part of the initiative for the environment, Valveworks and Rotary club has undertaken ecological rejuvenation of the Pawana river as it was affected by deposition of excess sediments ( due to soil erosion) and solid waste that caused the problems like clogging, shallowing which eventually resulted in mosquito breeding, foul odour and flood conditions during monsoon. This had a huge impact on the health and sanitation of the nearby residents. The area selected for interventions was a stretch of approximately 700 metres.

Project objective

  1. Sludge removal and bank stabilization
  2. Solid waste removal
  3. Create water channels to enhance the natural flow of water 
  4. Initiate tree plantations on the banks of the river

Project outcomes

  1. The quality of the water improved 70%-80% ( As per report)
  2. The dissolved oxygen in water is improved and stabilized the aquatic ecosystem
  3. Aesthetics of the surroundings is overall improved after tree plantation
