Abstract

Mayurakshi River, known as the lifeline of Birbhum district, provides much of the water by supplying irrigation water to this dry district.For the purpose ofwater supply, the Government has constructed reservoirs and irrigation canals with dams and barrages on the Mayurakshi and its tributaries. But since the volume of water carried by the river is not very high, no reservoirs have been constructed to control the floods. Water quality of the Mayurakshi river is good and it wasrecently excluded from the list of polluted rivers in India.
