Four teenagers recently drowned in the Koel River in Jharkhand's Palamu district while immersing materials used for Karma Puja
About Koel River:
It is an important river flowing through the states of Jharkhand and Odisha.
Course:
It originates from the Palamau Tiger Reserve, Jharkhand, and flows in the western part of Palamu District.
The river is believed to be fed by three streams of Jharkhand, namely South Karo, North Karo and Koina.
The river divides into two:
North Koel River: It is tapped near Kutku for irrigation reasons and finally joins with the Son River (a principal southern tributary of the Ganges).
South Koel River: It joins the Sankh River near Rourkela in Odisha to form the Brahmani River.
Flowing through the hilly terrain of Jharkhand and Odisha, the Koel River is part of the larger Damodar Valley region, known for its mineral-rich landscape.
It is prone to seasonal flooding, particularly during the monsoon months.
Hydropower Potential: The North Koel Dam, also known as the Mandal Dam, was constructed on the North Koel River in Jharkhand, intended to generate hydroelectric power and supply irrigation water.
