==Issues and conservation Basin==

Water levels have now dropped to a very low level with nearby areas suffering from water shortages.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}} Fairly recently, within 30 years, these areas were vibrant and arable with different types of agriculture .{{citation needed|date=May 2018}} There were significant areas of forest along the Banganga's route and earlier it was known for the cultivation of dates in [[Maid (town)|Maid]] (a town based on the river bank) but with the dropping water levels the date farming has suffered.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}}
