Chena River, Ghodbunder Road, Thane

Chena River source is from the hills of National Park. Most people call it china river but it is Chena River. In monsoon it flows fiercely and causes flood in the nearby region. Its mouth is in Thane creek. There is an old chena bridge over it and a new bridge which is Ghodbunder road. Chena village is aside of this river. There are many hotels nearby. During summer small rock dams are built to collect water. During monsoon area is full of greenery  One can reach Chena river by TMT bus or Mira Road Bhayandar Bus and get down at Chena village. From there it is walkable. Slowly the river area is being destroyed due to excessive constructions, encroachments and destruction of mangroves nearby. See Bhendi Nala

Above photo is of dried Chena River bed. Since the river is not perennial, it dries up quickly after the monsoon. Water is collected by building small dams like below. But the picnickers leave all the waste behind thus polluting it.
