The Brahmani (length 420 km)


The Brahmani river is formed by the confluence of the Koel and Sankh rivers. They join together at Rourkela and drain the western parts of the Garhjat Hills. Flowing through Bonai, Talcher and Balsore districts, it merges into the Bay of Bengal above the Paradwip-port. With the Baitarani river to its north, a delta complex forms below Bhadrak.
