The Uttar Pradesh government has told the Centre that it has planned to fix the minimum environment flow for the polluted stretches of at least six rivers.
E-flow is the minimum limit of flow required to maintain a river in the desired environmental state.
The Uttar Pradesh Government has planned to regulate the E-flow for polluted stretches of Saryu, Hindon, Ramganga, Betwa, Ghaghara and Rapti rivers.
So far, Ganga is the only river in the country for which E-flow has been fixed by the Centre.
In 2018, the Ministry of Jal Shakti had issued a notification, fixing the E-flow for Ganga.
