The restoration process started with excavating the sidewall of an abandoned bridge, located near the main Aurangabad-Paithan road (Structure 1). This site was deliberately chosen as the location for the initiation of the project in order to achieve visibility of people using the road. The ideal design included the digging of riverbed and construction of Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) wall to support the bridge and construct a bund to store water. However, the cost of RCC was very high. Hence, in its place, a stone wall was constructed at no cost using stones collected from farmers' well sites. The front of the three feet long stonewall was compacted with black cotton soil of 1 meter width. The back portion had 40 ft filling of black cotton soil. This filling was paved with stones. The stones were collected from farmers' fields.
