The '''Gokul barrage''', also '''Mathura barrage''' is a [[barrage (dam)|barrage]] on [[Yamuna River]] at [[Gokul]] in [[Mathura district]], top of which also serves as the road bridge.<br />
<br />
Yamuna has a total of 6 barrages, from north-west to south-east, [[Dakpathar Barrage]] (Uttarakhand), [[Hathni Kund Barrage]] (172km from [[Yamunotri]] origin, replaced the older defunct [[Tajewala Barrage]] in Haryana), [[Wazirabad barrage]] (244km from Hathnikund to north Delhi), [[ITO barrage]] (central Delhi), [[Okhla barrage]] (22km from Wazirabad to south Delhi, "New Okhla barrage" is later-era new barrage) and Mathura barrage (at Gokul, Uttar Pradesh).<ref name=all1>Bharati Chaturvedi, 2010, [https://books.google.com/books?isbn=0670084832 Finding Delhi: Loss and Renewal in the Megacity]</ref><ref name=ahmad1>ML Ahmed, Analysis of Discharge and Gauge-Level Data at Old Railway Bridge, Int'l Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Energy and Manufacturing Engineering (ICAEME’2014), 9-10 June 2014, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia).</ref><ref name=rg1>[http://www.rgplan.org/articles/indraprastha/1-15_march2013_and_16-31_march2013_indraprastha.pdf Regional plan]</ref><ref name=bar1>Bharati Chaturvedi, 2010, [https://books.google.com/books?isbn=0670084832 Finding Delhi: Loss and Renewal in the Megacity], Page 78.</ref><br />

==History==<br />
Gokul Barrage, 7 km downstream from Mathura,<ref name=gok2>K. T. Ravindran, 1990, [https://books.google.com/books?id=ut_VAAAAMAAJ The ghats of Mathura and Vrindavan, proposals for restoration], [[INTACH]].</ref> was proposed to be completed by March 2003, to supply 30 [[cusec]] water to [[Mathura]] and [[Vrindavan]] and also 115 [[cusec]] water to [[Agra]].<ref name=gok1>Shankarlal C. Bhatt,2005, [https://books.google.com/books?isbn=8178353849 Land and People of Indian States and Union Territories]</ref><br />
<br />
==Concerns==<br />
The construction of barrage has reduced the flow of Yamuna and water downstream of Mathura has become more polluted due to lack of flushing.<ref name=gok3>David L. Haberman, 2006,[https://books.google.com/books?isbn=0520247906 River of Love in an Age of Pollution: The Yamuna River of Northern India]</ref><br />
