The Kanh is a river flowing through Indore, the largest city in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The river started carrying sewage in the early 1990s. Several attempts have been made to clean the river, yet it remains polluted.
The river, along with the Saraswati River, is a part of the Smart City Indore project, and a riverfront spanning 3.9 kilometres has already been developed along the river. Both the rivers are being rejuvenated under the Smart Cities Mission.
