History
Historically, the Uh River has been vital for the sustenance of the local communities in Barot Valley. For generations, it has served as a primary source of irrigation for agriculture and drinking water. The British colonial rulers recognized its potential for hydropower generation, leading to the construction of the Shanan Hydel Project in the early 20th century. This project, one of the first of its kind in India, harnessed the river's power to provide electricity to the surrounding areas. The river also played a role in the development of Barot as a tourist destination, drawing anglers and nature enthusiasts to its scenic banks. Today, the Uh River remains a cornerstone of the valley's economy and identity.
