Gokul Barrage, 7 km downstream from Mathura, was proposed to be completed by March 2003, to supply 30 cusec water to Mathura and Vrindavan and also 115 cusec water to Agra.Concerns
The construction of barrage has reduced the flow of Yamuna and water downstream of Mathura has become more polluted due to lack of flushing.Yaumna river is part of National Waterway NW110, one of India's 111 National Waterways.Citations
