Prospect of Irrigation in East Champaran

Geography

The region under reference, one of the most fertile areas in the country, owes its fertility largely to rivers that flow through it. The depth of the alluvium is so much so that it has not ascertained as yet. The behaviour of almost all rivers traversing through it is more or less the same, the difference being only in degree of intensity. They all are land forming rivers bestowing immense fertility to the soil. Streams, destructive as they are when untamed, are great source of the irrigation water for farms and the farmers. The irrigational potentials both of the surface water - flow and the subterranean water flow are extremely tremendous. Major portion of water - flow has not been converted into the irrigational potentials and even major chunk of created irrigation potentials have remained unutilised by virtue of many factors.
