Narmada River Development, Indian River
The Narmada river development or NRD are the policies and rules to keep the banks of the river clean and developed.

Narmada River Development, Indian RiverThe Narmada River features huge resources and potential for the development of the region. The Narmada river development was designed to keep the banks and water of the river clean and usable for resource needs. The Narmada River has a huge water resources potential, as high as 33.21 MAF (41,000 M.cum) of average annual flow. More than 90% of this flow occurs during the monsoon months of June to September. The annual flow estimated is greater than the combined annual flows of the rivers like Ravi, Beas and the Sutlej, which feed the Indus basin.

The 75% dependable flow of Narmada River is 28 MAF (34,537 MCM). When the beginning of planned development in the country was started in 1946, this huge potential went almost unnoticed without any effective utilization thus denying the much-needed assistance to the drought stricken people of the Narmada valley, both in Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. Ever since then plans were changed and new plans came into action with debated results and finally legally examined and adjudicated by a tribunal, the NGO s, and the Supreme Court took up the responsibility to ensure that the implementation of the projects are not halted.
