Description

The Namami Gange Program, launched by the Government of India in 2014, aims to clean and revitalise the Ganga River. The programme aims to reduce pollution and restore the river's ecological balance. The Namami Gange Program has funded the development of the Narayani River's riverfront in the district of Gopalganj, Bihar, and the construction of two ghats at a cost of Rupees. 6.62 crore.

The Narayani River Is A Ganges Left-Bank Tributary

The Narayani River, also known as the Gandaki River, is one of Nepal's most important rivers. It is a Ganges tributary on India's left bank. The total catchment area of the river is 46,300 km2 (17,900 sq mi), with the majority of it in Nepal. It is known for its deep canyon in the Nepal Himalayas. Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and Annapurna I are among the three 8,000-meter (26,000-foot) mountains in the basin. The highest point of the Gandaki basin is Dhaulagiri.

Course Of Narayani River

The Kali Gandaki River's headwaters are located on the Tibetan border at an elevation of 6,268 meters (20,564 feet) at the Nhubine Himal Glacier in Nepal's Mustang region. The river then flows southwest through a sheer-sided, deep canyon before widening at Chele's steel footbridge, where a portion of its flow funnels through a rock tunnel. Muktinath is the source of a major tributary known as Johng Khola, Kak Khola, or Krishnaa in Kagbeni. The river then flows south through the Kali Gandaki Gorge, also known as Andha Galchi, between the mountains Dhaulagiri and Annapurna I. If the depth of a canyon is measured by the difference between the river height and the highest peaks on either side, this gorge is the deepest in the world.

National Waterway-37: Gandak River

The Gandak River, also known as the Narayani and the Gandak, was designated as National Waterway-37 from Bhaisalotan Barrage to the Gandak and Ganga river confluence at Hajipur as part of the National Waterways Act of 2016, along with 111 other NWs in the country. Based on the findings of the Gandak River study reports, the waterway was determined to be feasible for the development of shipping and navigation. However, due to the lack of potential cargo and the very low navigational/vertical clearance provided by the structure located across NW-37, i.e., Rewa Ghat Bridge, as well as development activities on the Gandak River (NW-37), have been put on hold.
