The Baralia River is a sub-tributary of the Brahmaputra River in the Indian state of Assam.[1] The Baralia river originates in the Lokhaitora River and flows through Rangia city, Nalbari district and Tamulpur district before its confluence with the Puthimari River and the Brahmaputra river.[2][3] The Nona River is a tributary of the Baralia river.[4]
Course
The river originates from Bher Veri Bhulukmukh near Nagrijuli Tea Estate. A part of the escape discharge of river Barnadi (Puthimari) also feeds the river throughout the year.[5] The river flows to the west of river Puthimari and almost parallel to it up to R.G Railway Line and finally falls at river Pagladia near Dusutimukh. The river runs through the Sub-Divisional head quarter city of Rangia of Kamrup District. It is highly flashy and meandering in nature. Due to its meandering nature, deposition of heavy silt at the concave bends on either sides and at the bed of the river and banks inside the embankment system is increasing day by day. Thus, the water carrying capacity of the river is also decreasing which makes this a critical river for the Division.
