Prateek Sharma1, Dr. Sumit Giri2, Dr. Ranjana Gupta 3 1, 3 Department of Wildlife Science, University of Kota, Kota, Rajasthan 2 Dept. of Zoology, Belda College, Belda, Paschim Medinipur Abstract The Mula-Mutha River flows in western Maharashtra. It begins in the Western Ghats and runs eastward until it meets the Mula River near Pune. River water is utilized for drinking, bathing, industrial purposes, and agriculture. The rising urban and industrial activities have an impact on the water quality of this river, which runs virtually through the Pune city. Minimizing effects on our environment is the primary goal of the sustainable construction. India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi set the groundwork for Pune’s River Rejuvenation Project, declaring the start of the ambitious project that aims to redesign and restructuring a 44 kilometer widen of the Mula, Mutha, and Mula-Mutha rivers with an objective to clean and beautify the river within the city’s boundary. The project is scheduled to be completed in 11 phases over a 10-year period. Total length of Mula Mutha river is 44 kilometers, Project area covered 10.4 kilometers of Mutha river, 22.2 kilometers of Mula river, and 11.8 kilometers of the Mula-Mutha river. The study is about sustainable construction taking over the construction field in India. This study will provide the importance of green construction to sustain in future market. Though it is the sustainable construction, it shows the impact on environment caused by the construction. The mitigative measures are taken during and after construction. The area has an abundance of flora and fauna. Serious destroying actions have been noted in this study. Residents have less knowledge about the value of ecosystems and wildlife. Present pollutants; which include the main contributory factor, uncontrolled polluted water discharged openly into the Mula-Mutha stream, which at first affects fish, birds, or human well-being.
