NIUA has handheld the city of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in preparing its Urban River Management Plan (URMP) as a dedicated strategy for managing the extent of the Rivers Kham and Sukhna—that flow through the city—in an efficient and sustainable manner. It has been developed with an overall vision to ensure harmonious integration of the rivers in the development landscape of the city. URMP Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar proposes a set of 21 tangible and practical actions for managing the city’s water features, under the ten-point URMP agenda. While some of these interventions are planning oriented and conceptual, others are projects that can be directly implemented on ground.
