The present study is related to high growth of population and its impact on Basna drain in Phaphamau region. In this study there is a description of Population in year 2001 and year 2011 in Phaphamau region. After comparison of population in year 2001 and 2011, it's clear that there is a high growth rate of population in the region. The average growth rate of population is 75.33 percent from 2001 to 2011 and the annual growth rate is 7.533 percent. Thus there is a heavy burden of population on the resources of the suburban area. There is an imbalance relation to population and number of houses. Hence, the burdened population needs a lot of houses for their shelter. For their needs the people of the region is destructing the basin of the drain by building houses in the basin. Thus there is a shrinking in the width and depth of the drain. After all above happening there is no more existence of the drain in future. For the long life of the drain the people and government should be conscience. Allahabad Development Authority should regulate the direction of Allahabad high court to demarcation of 500 meters no construction zone along the both side of the Basna drain. ADA should also develop the 10 meter plantation strip along both side of the Basna drain.
