The Mahakali River or
Sharda River is also called Kali Gador Kali Ganga in Uttarakhand where the
river demarcates Nepal's western border with India. This boundary was
established by the 1816 Sugauli treaty. The name is sometimes written
"Sarda".
The river descends from 3,600
metres (11,800 ft) at Kalapani to 200 metres (660 ft) as it enters the Terai
plains, offering an unrealized potential for hydroelectric power generation.
The river is also proposed as source for one of the many projects in the
Himalayan component of the Indian Rivers Inter-link project. (Source -Wikipedia)
