The Mutha river
The Western Ghats are the source of the Mutha River, which travels
for around 21 kilometres before joining the Mula River in Pune. The
Mutha River has been dammed twice, the first time at the Panshet
Dam (on the Ambi River), which supplies irrigation and drinking
water to Pune. Pune relies heavily on this water, which is dammed up
again at Khadakwasla, as a supply of drinking water. Later, a second
dam was constructed at Temghar on the Mutha River. It continues as
the Mula-Mutha River after combining with the Mula River in Pune
and flows on to join the Bhima River in Sangameshwar.
