Mahanadi River Delta in India is a basin deposit that drains into a large land mass.Tthe Indian subcontinent into the Bay of Bengal. The alluvial valley is wide and relatively flat with a meandering river channel that changes its course.[1]
The Mahanadi River flows slowly for 560 miles (900 km) and has an estimated drainage area of 51,000 square miles (132,100 square km). It deposits more silt than almost any other river in the Indian subcontinent.[2]
The area of the drainage basin is 141,464 km². The interior coastal plain has a relatively low elevation. The average elevation of the drainage basin is 426 m, with a maximum of 877 m and a minimum of 193 m.the river could affect the native people by flooding . they can use the river for all sorts of things like net fishing hydroelectricity. it has not changed course yet. it is not suppose to change for another 14 years they could stop it from changing couse by making river side levy's.
