Taking dip and bath in the Sone river

The Sone River is a perennial river located in central India which originates near Amarkantak Hill in Pendra (Gaurela-Pendra-Marwahi district), Chhattisgarh and finally merges with the Ganges river near Maner in Patna, Bihar.

The Narmada and Son rivers both originate from the Amarkantak plateau, located in Madhya Pradesh, India. Specifically, the Narmada flows westward from the western side of the plateau, while the Son flows eastward-northeast.

The Sone River is the second-largest southern tributary of the Ganges after the Yamuna River. India's oldest river bridge Koilwar Bridge over Sone River connects Arrah with Patna.

The Sone River, a major tributary of the Ganga, has several notable characteristics related to its plant life, including its riparian vegetation, its role in supporting agricultural ecosystems, and the potential impact of development projects like dam construction on aquatic plant communities.

The Indrapuri Barrage was constructed, 8 kilometres (5 mi) upstream, and commissioned in 1968.
Indrapuri barrage on the Sone River has been instrumental in diverting water for irrigation and other purposes, potentially impacting the natural flow of the river and its aquatic ecosystems.

The Bansagar Dam in Madhya Pradesh was commissioned in 2008 .
Bansagar Dam on the Sone River, the Bansagar Dam, has also been developed for irrigation and hydropower generation, raising concerns about its potential impact on the river's natural flow and aquatic plant communities.
