โช๏ธKoshi River (part 2/2)
โช๏ธ The river enters the Tarai of Nepal after cutting a narrow gorge in the Mahabharata Range. And it joins the Ganga.
โช๏ธThe river channel is braided and it shifts its course frequently. This has resulted in frequent devastating floods and has converted large tracts of cultivable land into waste land in Bihar.
โช๏ธThus the river is often termed as the "Sorrow of Bihar".
โช๏ธEmbankments for flood control have been constructed as a joint venture of India and Nepal
