View-Mithi River

Mithi River (also known as Mahim River) is one of the largest rivers in Mumbai. The river originates from the overflow of Vihar lake and Powai Lake during monsoon season.
The river is though a natural storm water drainage channel during the monsoons, it has now become filthy mainly due to the presence of slums on its bank and due to the discharge of industrial effluents. Majority number of industries around the river is of iron scrap. It flows for a total 15 km and meets the Arabian Sea at Mahim Creek.
