From the collected data, 700 responses were collected from the Mula
and Mutha rivers and it has been observed that 43% area has industries
located on its banks and 57% do not have industries. Hence, it can
be concluded that only industrial waste is not responsible for the
depleting conditions of the Mula and Mutha rivers.

According to Human Geography, a catchment area is an area from
which a location, such as a city, service or institution, attracts a
population that uses its services and economic opportunities.
Catchment areas may be based on places where people are naturally
drawn to a location (for example, labor catchment area) or as
established by governments or organizations for the provision of
services. It has been observed that 50% of Mula Mutha catchment
area is urban localities.
