Uttar Pradesh is a land of sacred rivers and hidden waterfalls, playing a vital role in the state’s spiritual, ecological, and economic life. While it lacks the towering falls of mountainous states, its river system is among the most important in India. Protecting these natural assets while promoting sustainable tourism and conservation is key to the future of UP’s water wealth.
