'''Poisar River''' is a river in [[Mumbai]], [[India]]. It begins in the [[Sanjay Gandhi National Park]] and empties into the [[Marve Creek]] and finally into the [[Arabian Sea]]. The river is now nothing more than an [[urban stream]] when it begins and is contaminated with industrial effluents and sewage.

==History==

There was a time when the water was clean and the people used to use it for household purposes.
In Mumbai, during the festival of [[Ganesh Chaturthi]], the statue of the [[Ganesha|Lord Ganapati]], was immersed in this river too. Nowadays, it is not done, since the river is dirty.

In 2005 during the major flood in [[Mumbai]], Poisar river had flooded, and water had overflown the banks into a building compound, contaminating a water tank. Those living in the surroundings had undergone great distress following an outbreak of various waterborne diseases.

==Structures==

There is also the Jeri Meri Temple, on the other side of the Bridge.<ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Cities/Mumbai/MMRDA_studying_5_rivers/articleshow/msid-1240005,curpg-2.cms MMRDA studying 5 rivers]</ref>
