Course edit
The Bokaro River rises on the Hazaribagh plateau, south of Hazaribagh, and quickly skirts the southern face to pass in a narrow and valley between Jilinga and Langu Hills.[1] It passes through the West Bokaro and East Bokaro coalfields.[2][3] The Bokaro flows into the Konar River shortly before the latter flows into the Damodar River.[1]
Barrage edit
A barrage has been constructed at the point of its confluence with the Konar River to supply water to Bokaro Thermal Power Station.[4]
