Fig. No. 4.3 Income Generated

Only 27.32% of the areas around the rivers have income above 20,000
and above. This signifies that there are very less number of industries
in the catchment area of the rivers dependent on river water and the

income is generated mostly from the small stalls and water sports.
Many small stalls, gardens and restaurants are located near the river
which are generating income for the people living in the catchment
area.

While the areas near the river banks were studied, it was observed
that there were water pumps on the banks of the river, which farmers
were using for the irrigation purpose for agricultural land.
