The total length of the river is about 8 to 10 kms, of which a 2.5 km stretch was cleaned.

The second photo shows the college students at work. About 750 college students participated not only from Maharashtra but also from Gujarat, Karnataka and Goa under the banner of NSS.

The third photo shows the increased water level to 5-6 feet within 48 hours of cleaning some parts of the river.
