Gaula River, Kathgodam, Uttarakhand

Gaula river is an essential river draining in Kathgodam with a length of 500 km appx. It arises from the nearby gola hills and is also fed by many tributaries. It later merges with Ramganga river in Uttar Pradesh. A dam has been built known as Gaula Barrage in order to make a reservoir which supplies water for cities like Kathgodam and Haldwani. Irrigation is done as well. Gaula river bed is wide as it drains off. Gaula catchment and surround land has become prone to landslides due to severe abuse of quarrying, deforestation and waste disposal. Due to such reasons the flow rate of the river has also diminished.

Above is the photo of Kathgodam Railway station situated aside the Gaula River. It is the last station towards the hills.
