Hasdeo

Hasdeo is a river in the northern part of the state of Chhattisgarh in India. It is a left-bank tributary of the Mahanadi River. The river originates in the hills of Chhattisgarh and flows through the Hasdeo-Rampur coalfield. This region is significant for its coal reserves, and mining activities have a considerable impact on the river and its surrounding environment. The Hasdeo river basin is also an important agricultural area, providing water for irrigation. The river plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and the livelihoods of the communities that depend on it. Development projects, including dams and mining operations, have been subjects of discussion and concern regarding their environmental and social consequences. The Hasdeo river's flow and water quality are monitored due to its importance for both industrial and agricultural needs.
