Abstract

Satluj River is the longest river of the Himachal Pradesh. It is one of the richest basins among all four river basins (Beas, Ravi, Chenab and Yamuna Basins) in reference to hydropower potential. The development of hydropower projects is rapidly increasing due to the suitability of present topography. With the help of this research, it tries to find out what are the characteristics that promote hydropower development activities in Satluj Basin with compare to the other basin in Himachal Pradesh, India.
