The river has been revered in Hindu scriptures since many millennia and continues to harbor and nourish rich cultural heritages. However, in the past few decades, the river has been abused with relentless construction of barrages and dams. The river delta, supporting 729 persons/km2 - nearly twice the density average for the nation, has been categorized as having substantial risk to greater risk of flooding with rising sea levels
