Bagmati is an important River of Bihar, which descends down the Himalayas and enters India in the Sitamarhi district of Bihar. The capital of Nepal,Kathmandu, is located on its bank. Its basin is among the most fertile regions of the world, which is mainly attributed to the silt that the river brings along with its flows. The river joins the Kosi near Badla Ghat in Khagaria district Bihar. It has a total catchment area of 13,279 sq. km. Of which 6,246 is located in India and the rest lies in Nepal. The ground slope through which the river passes in the Indian portion is almost flat and ranges from 0.87 meters per kilometer near Indo-Nepal border and in lower reaches; it gets flattened to about 0.07 meters per kilometer. Heavy silt load and flat gradient of land causes meandering of the river in the Indian plains which results in seasonal hardship to the people living in its basin.
