The project repurposed approximately 47 kilometers of the Amani Shah ka Nala, a previously neglected drainage channel.
The development integrated five modular sewage treatment plants to purify water before it enters the riverbed.
The landscape plan involved the plantation of over 17,000 native trees to improve the local microclimate.
It is one of the largest riverfront development projects in India, managed under the Jaipur Development Authority.
The project design includes 16 check dams to regulate water flow and recharge local groundwater levels.
The Dravyavati River Project, also known as the Amrit Nandini project, is a 47-kilometer riverfront revitalization effort in Jaipur that transformed a former seasonal sewage drain into a landscaped park system. The project encompasses 12 zones featuring walking paths, cycle tracks, and public seating areas stretching from the foothills of Nahargarh to the outskirts of Sanganer. It utilizes multiple sewage treatment plants (STPs) along its length to ensure the treated water flowing through the channel remains clear. The park includes botanical gardens, open-air amphitheaters, and various playgrounds for recreational use. This urban infrastructure initiative is designed to mitigate flood risks while providing a contiguous green corridor through the city. Despite challenges with ongoing maintenance, the project serves as a major public space for jogging, cycling, and evening walks in the Pratap Nagar area.
The elevated pedestrian bridges offering views of the landscaped embankments and the water channel.
Bring your own drinking water as kiosk availability can be inconsistent.
Visit during the daylight hours, as lighting in some remote sections of the park is limited after dark.
Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the paths cover significant distances.
Visiting during the peak of the summer afternoon heat, as there is limited natural canopy coverage in newly developed sections.
Maintain cleanliness and avoid littering, as waste management in certain park segments is a noted concern.
