Survey research design was followed in this study and the data were collected through face to face interviews. Findings reveal that more than half of the respondents said establishing industry is the main reason of grabbing water bodies. Participants (77.3%) reported to have threats to the livelihood pattern while half of the respondents (55.6%) rely on water bodies as the sources of livelihoods. The overall scenario represents the worse standard of river management and need to take immediate steps for saving water bodies for our own necessary.
