    People in Mumbai are so busy they go out for adventure to so many places, forgetting what they have in their back yard

    This is really sad and disturbing. Some of the brightest IIT engineers and they can't figure out a way to clean up the river. There is no political will and there is a lethargy on the part of the people. There are several videos explaining why the river is filthy and how to clean it up but 50 years later there are still the same videos explaining the same thing but nothing has been done!

    People keep polluting their own living space. The brightest engineers will never solve the problem.

    Mithi river deserves to be developed as river front as done in Ahmedabad.

    Volunteers should clean up the garbage first then build sewer treatment plants. This type of project was done successfully in Bangalore.

    It is a big challenge. Start out with incremental change. Get people at the top headwaters to put less in, and the people in the middle to take more out, and then work your way down building an ecosystem. 30 or 50 year horizon.

    Sediment traps are the solution. Cover them with solar panels and an automated dredging mechanism. ZERO fuel cost. Sediment can be deposited on the quarried / mined borders of Sanjay Gandhi National Park.

    First of all a slum is not a place where people should live. Second is a city needs a functional system to deal with garbage, waste water. Third is, dealing with part of the garbage and polute nature with the rest is not recycling! And it should not be allowed to anyone to destroy nature with its rivers, woods, mangroves, animals. All men have to learn to live with our planet, not against it. So a little bit of trash collecting is only the first step. We all have to stop that tsunami of garbage! And if our leaders don't work with us on this world problem we have to replace them with better ones. Or we will all die in garbage.
