The National Waterway-57 (River Kopili) has been operationalized, marking a historic step towards reviving Assam’s river-based trade and promoting sustainable logistics. This move is set to enhance connectivity and economic activity in the region.
Location & Importance: The Kopili River is a significant tributary of the Brahmaputra River on its left bank. It is crucial for the local ecology and economy, especially for regions like North Cachar Hills, Karbi Anglong, and Nagaon in Assam and Meghalaya.
Origin: The river originates from the Saipong Reserve Forest in the Borail Range of the North Cachar Hills District at an altitude of 1525 meters.
Length: The total length of the river is 256 km, with 78 km lying along the common border of Meghalaya and Assam, while the remaining 178 km flows within Assam.
Significance:
It is the largest south bank tributary of the Brahmaputra in Assam.
The river covers various districts such as North Cachar Hill, Karbi Anglong, Nagaon, and Morigaon in Assam, playing a key role in supporting the local economy through agriculture, especially crops like rice, mustard, rape seed, and wheat.
The operationalization of National Waterway-57 for navigation brings significant economic opportunities by boosting river-based trade and logistics in the region. Additionally, it aims to ensure sustainable development while protecting the ecosystem of the river and surrounding areas.
