The Tapi River, also known regionally as the Tapi, is a major waterway flowing through central India, primarily through the states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat. It originates in the Satpura range and travels roughly 724 kilometers before draining into the Arabian Sea. The river plays a crucial role in supporting agriculture, providing water for cities, and sustaining ecosystems along its banks. Its basin covers a large area, making it vital for regional economy and ecology. The Tapi River also features several dams and irrigation projects aimed at water management and flood control.
