The '''Bansloi River''' is a tributary of the [[Hooghly River|Bhagirathi]].

==Geography==
The Bansloi River originates on Bans Hill in [[Sahebganj district]] of [[Jharkhand]],<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.mapsofindia.com/jharkhand/geography-and-history/rivers.html| title = Jharkhand Rivers| publisher = mapsofindia| access-date = 2009-04-11}}</ref> flows through [[Pakur district]] of Jharkhand<ref>{{cite web |url=http://pakur.nic.in/about.htm |title=Pakur – a Land of Vibrant People and Black Stone |publisher=District administration |access-date=2009-04-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090410014329/http://pakur.nic.in/about.htm |archive-date=10 April 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and [[Birbhum district|Birbhum]] and [[Murshidabad district|Murshidabad]] districts of [[West Bengal]] before flowing into the [[Hooghly River|Bhagirathi]] north of [[Jahangirpur, Murshidabad|Jangipur]]<ref name=india9>{{cite web | url = http://www.india9.com/i9show/Bansloi-River-73560.htm| title = Bansloi River| publisher = India9| access-date = 2009-04-11}}</ref><ref name=murshidabad>{{cite web|url=http://murshidabad.gov.in/people.htm |title=Murshidabad district |access-date=2009-04-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090305203942/http://murshidabad.gov.in/people.htm |archive-date=5 March 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The western half of Murshidabad district slopes eastwards toward the Bhagirathi; a number of the hill streams do not find their way directly into that river; they are intercepted by [[beel]]s or marshes. The large beels act as reservoirs during a flood absorbing some of the excess water carried down by these streams, and also drain the excess water through the streams, emanating out of them. The Bansloi enters the northern part of the district.<ref name=murshidabad/>

The combined catchment area of the Pagla–Bansloi river system is {{convert|2200|km2|mi2}}.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.atiwb.nic.in/cs5.pdf| title = The Deluge 2000| last=Roy| first=Jitendra| access-date = 2009-04-11| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090410035655/http://atiwb.nic.in/cs5.pdf| archive-date= 10 April 2009 | url-status= live}}</ref>

===Floods===
A number of rivers that originate on the [[Chota Nagpur Plateau]] or in Jharkhand, including the Bansloi, flow into Birbhum district. These rivers then enter the Murshidabad and Bardhaman districts before joining the Bhagirathi. They generate flood because of high rainfall in their basins and limited carrying capacity of the river Bhagirathi between the towns of Jangipur and [[Kalna, India|Kalna]]. In this reach the Bhagirathi has discharge carrying capacity of maximum {{convert|110000|cuft/s|m3/s|order=flip}}. If all the rivers receive rainfall simultaneously in their catchment areas they can generate run-off volume of any amount up to {{convert|600000|cuft/s|m3/s|order=flip}} at their outfall at the Bhagirathi. Thus floods are caused regularly.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://wbiwd.gov.in/flood_mgmt/index2.htm| title = Flood management| publisher = Irrigation & Waterways Department, Govt of West Bengal| access-date = 2009-04-11}}</ref>
