The construction of the Koshi Barrage has had both positive and negative impacts on the local

ecosys

Furthermore, the structure requires maintenance and dredging to prevent silt accumulation and maintain its functionality. This can have additional environmental impacts, such as the release of sediments and disruption of natural habitats during maintenance activities.

Overall, the Koshi Barrage is a complex engineering project that has had significant impacts on the local environment, both positive and negative.
