Rudi River (Nepal)

The Rudi River is a river located in Nepal. It is a tributary of the Marsyangdi River, which is itself a major tributary of the Gandaki River, a large river system in central Nepal. The Rudi River drains a significant area of the Annapurna region, flowing through valleys and gorges characterized by steep slopes and diverse vegetation. Its watershed contributes significantly to the overall water resources of the Marsyangdi basin. The river is used for irrigation and, in some sections, has potential for hydropower generation. The river's flow is highly seasonal, fluctuating significantly between the monsoon season (June-September) and the dry season (October-May). Local communities rely on the Rudi River for agricultural purposes and domestic water supply.
