Bihar and Jharkhand are set to sign an agreement formalising the sharing of Sone river waters.
About Sone River:
The Sone River, also called Son, is a principal southern tributary of the Ganges (Ganga) River after the Yamuna River.
Origin: It is a perennial river that originates in the Amarkantak hills of the Maikal Range in Madhya Pradesh.
It flows through the states of Madhya Pradesh (around 500 km), Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Bihar.
Course: The River flows in a north-northwest direction till Bansagar reservoir, after which it changes its course sharply eastwards, flowing parallel to Kaimur Range, and joins Ganga River upstream of Patna in Bihar.
Tributaries: Major tributaries of the Son River are Banas, Gopad, Rihand, Kanhar and North Koel.
The Sone valley is geologically almost a continuation of that of the Narmada River to the southwest.
The valley is bordered by the Kaimur Range to the north and the Chota Nagpur plateau to the south.
