Swollen
by the monsoon rains, the rich alluvial waters of the Yamuna swirl around
the ancient steps and chatris, which line the riverfront of Vrindavan.
For most of the year the river is shallow and far away from the town.
The waters are depleted by irrigation canals and loss of tree cover
in the Himalayan watersheds. This has caused severe water shortage problems
throughout the region.
