Rivers are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic changes. The hill streams so far considered pristine are now being subjected to increased anthropogenic influences. The present study was undertaken to identify and assess the anthropogenic activities in the riparian zone of River Manuni, in Beas watershed. During the course of investigation anthropogenic activities like slate mining, river bed mining, water withdrawal for drinking and agriculture purpose, initiation of micro hydroelectric projects and number of miscellaneous activities have been observed in River Manuni during March 2009- February 2011.
