This study is a qualitative research done with the aim of understanding the ecosystem. Also the of this ecological research is to study the effect of pollution and improved status of the river Kanh. During study our focus is on reoccurrence of ecological imbalance on the present status of Kanh river. This study is carried out with the help of survey and records. Geographical sample area of Indore city is chosen for this study and survey is done over a population sample of 100 people using a questionnaire which served as primary data and the analysis records obtained from IMC served as secondary data. The survey has been done to know the previous state of Kanh, why and how pollution level of Kanh increased and then analysis done using secondary data for a period before revival project 2018 and after 2021 on the basis of data by IMC. Analysing the data it is evident that the increasing population and industrial growth has indirectly affected the ecosystem globally and the Kanh river locally. It is also evident from the analysis that the ecological health of river improved after revival and reform tactics. But reoccurrence of ecological imbalance is a matter of concern as evident from present status of river and views of sample population. Smart city project and the citizen’s responsible behavior is the new hope as a permanent solution.
