About: Babai River

An Entity of Type: place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Babai River (Nepali: बबई नदी) originates in and completely drains Inner Terai Dang Valley of Mid-Western Nepal. Dang is an oval valley between the Mahabharat Range and Siwalik Hills in its eponymous district. Dang was anciently home to indigenous Tharu people and came to be ruled from India by the House of Tulsipur who also counted as one of the Baise Rajya (Nepali: बाइसे राज्य)—a confederation of 22 petty kingdoms in the Karnali (Ghagra) region. About 1760 AD all these kingdoms were annexed by the Shah Dynasty during the unification of Nepal, except Tulsipur lands south of the Siwalik Hills were not taken. Since Dang Valley was somewhat higher, cooler, better-drained and therefore less malarial than most of the country's Inner Terai, it was settled to some extent by Shah and Rana cour

  • The Babai River (Nepali: बबई नदी) originates in and completely drains Inner Terai Dang Valley of Mid-Western Nepal. Dang is an oval valley between the Mahabharat Range and Siwalik Hills in its eponymous district. Dang was anciently home to indigenous Tharu people and came to be ruled from India by the House of Tulsipur who also counted as one of the Baise Rajya (Nepali: बाइसे राज्य)—a confederation of 22 petty kingdoms in the Karnali (Ghagra) region. About 1760 AD all these kingdoms were annexed by the Shah Dynasty during the unification of Nepal, except Tulsipur lands south of the Siwalik Hills were not taken. Since Dang Valley was somewhat higher, cooler, better-drained and therefore less malarial than most of the country's Inner Terai, it was settled to some extent by Shah and Rana courtiers and other Paharis long before DDT was introduced to control the disease-bearing Anopheles mosquito. Exiting Dang Valley and its district, the Babai enters Salyan District and flows between sub-ranges of the Siwalik Hills along their west-northwest axis. Sharada Khola drains about half of Salyan's larger Middle Hills region before cutting through the Mahabharat Range and joining the Babai from the right. Salyan was another Baise principality before unification. About 20 kilometres (12 mi) beyond this confluence, the Babai crosses into Bardiya District and enters Bardiya National Park. The river continues another 30 kilometres (19 mi) west-northwest until the enclosing Siwalik hills fall away and the Outer Terai begins. At this point the river crosses Nepal's main east–west Mahendra Highway and exits the national park. On the Outer Terai the Babai is finally free to gradually bend left toward the main inclination of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The river flows south some 40 kilometres (25 mi) and enters India's Uttar Pradesh state. The Babai continues about 50 kilometres (31 mi) (straight line) south from the border before joining the much larger Ghaghara from the left at about 35 kilometres (22 mi) west-northwest of Bahraich. This confluence is about 10 kilometres (6 mi) upstream of the Sharda (Mahakali) confluence from the right. In Nepal the catchment of the Babai is bordered by that of the Rapti on the north, east and south; and by the main Ghaghra catchment on the west until their confluence. In India the Rapti takes a more easterly course, joining the Ghagra some 285 kilometres (177 mi) southeast of the Babai's confluence. In Season 9, Episode 55 of the television series River Monsters, Jeremy Wade visits Bardia National Park to fish the Babai. He hoped to catch a large Goonch catfish but was unsuccessful. (en)
  • O rio Babai (em nepali: बबई नदी) é um rio do Nepal e Índia, afluente do rio Gagara. Tem cerca de 400 km de comprimento. O Babai nasce no Vale de Dang, que corre na província de Lumbini entre a cadeia Mahabharat no norte e os Siwaliks no sul. O rio flui numa direção predominantemente para oeste, através do sopé dos Himalaias. No Parque Nacional de Bardia, atravessa a cordilheira a sul e depois vira-se bruscamente para sul. O braço do rio de primavera do Ghaghara, o Geruwa, corre alguns quilómetros mais a oeste. O Babai atravessa a fronteira para a Índia nos confins inferiores e encontra o rio Gagara abaixo da foz do Sharda. O Babai tem uma extensão de cerca de 400 km. A sua bacia hidrográfica é de 37500 km2, dos quais 3500 km2 estão no Nepal. A drenagem média ao nível de Chepang, acima da confluência da Sharada Khola, é de 71 m3/s. O débito médio mensal varia entre 4 m3/s em abril e 588 m3/s em julho. Há planos para desviar a água do norte do rio Bheri para o Babai. O Babai é uma popular localização para a prática de pesca, rafting e caiaque. O Babai é habitat de peixes como o peixe-carpa Tor putitora, o Raiamas bola ("truta-do-himalaia") e os peixes-cabeça-de-cobra do género . (pt)
