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.
