The Save Indrayani Action Committee (SAC), comprising environment groups and [[Varkari]]s, has decided to conduct a detailed study on the causes of pollution of the Indrayani river and support the local civic bodies take preventive measures with the help of the state government. They have a blog at ibks.blogspot and also formed groups on various community sites.
 
The action committee formed groups to study the river from its origin near [[Lonavla]], to right up to where it joins the [[Bhima river]].
 
The study groups of the action committee consist of experts who will document the reasons of pollution by clicking pictures, preparing short films and by collecting water samples. The study is expected to be completed by March next year. The report and the demands would then be submitted to the state government as also to government bodies, like the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board and the [[Pimpri-Chinchwad]] Municipal Corporation.
 
Since local civic bodies such as the [[Lonavla]] Municipal Council, the [[Vadgaon Maval|Vadgaon]] Gram Panchayat, the [[Talegaon Dabhade]] Municipal Council and the [[Dehu]] Gram Panchayat do not have necessary facilities to treat domestic effluents which get released in the river directly., the action committee would assist the civic bodies in setting up these essential facilities with the help of the state government. Another study group would be examining geographical details of the river, its original width and the changes that have happened over time.
