Mula River (India)

The Mula is a river in Pune, India. It is dammed near the Western Ghats at the Mulshi Dam that forms the Mulshi Lake. Further downstream, in Pune city, it merges with the Pawana River on the left bank and Mutha River on the right bank to form the Mula-Mutha river, which later meets the Bhima River.

The river forms the boundary between the limits of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation and the Pune Municipal Corporation along the Old Pune–Mumbai Highway.

Bridges

There are several bridges crossing the river. The Rajiv Gandhi Bridge connecting Pune to Ravet crosses the river at Aundh. The Harris Bridge crosses at Dapodi.

The Holkar bridge crosses the river near Khadki.

The Sangam Bridge crosses the Mutha River at Sangamwadi, just before their merger.

Pollution and flooding

In 2010, areas surrounding the river experienced flash floods due to high levels of pollution and garbage dumped into the river.

The College of Engineering, Pune (CoEP) holds an annual boating festival at the river near its premises. In 2012, it was found that the river was not navigable from Khadki to CoEP because the Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited had obstructed the flow of the river by constructing a mud path to lay a pipeline.
