In a tragic incident, three students, who were studying XI standard, went to take a bath in the Koel River in the Lohardaga district of Jharkhand, and drowned in deep waters.
About Koel River:
Koel River originates from the Palamau Tiger Reserve, Jharkhand, and flows in the western part of Palamu District.
The river divides into two - the North Koel River and the South Koel River.
The former river is tapped near Kutku for irrigation reasons and finally joins with the Son River.
The latter one flowsacross the Indian state of Orissa near Rourkela, before merging with the Brahmani River.
Flowing through the hilly terrain of Jharkhand and Odisha, the Koel River is part of the larger Damodar Valley region, known for its mineral-rich landscape.
It is prone to seasonal flooding, particularly during the monsoon months.
Hydropower Potential: The North Koel Dam, also known as the Mandal Dam, was constructed on the North Koel River in Jharkhand, intended to generate hydroelectric power and supply irrigation water.
