Nala (Bihar)

Nala in Bihar generally refers to a water channel or drainage system, often a natural or constructed stream that manages water flow. These water features are essential for farmland irrigation, draining excess rainwater, and preventing flooding. In the local context, Nalas can also be small rivers or tributaries contributing to larger water systems. Proper management of Nalas supports agriculture, maintains ecological balance, and improves sanitation. However, in some areas, they face challenges like pollution, encroachment, or blockage, which can affect water availability and community health.
