River Connectivity in Bihar and the Koshi Basin: Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract

Interlinking rivers in India has been proposed as a solution to the country's water distribution problems. The Kosi River Basin in Bihar, which frequently suffers from flooding and water scarcity, could potentially benefit from such an initiative. This paper explores the concept of river interlinking, specifically focusing on the Kosi Basin. It examines the potential benefits, challenges, and environmental impacts, and provides suggestions for implementing an effective interlinking project.
