        abstract = {Rivers constitute one of the most crucial natural resources influencing regional economic development, particularly in agrarian and industrial regions. The Ramganga River, a major tributary of the River Ganga, plays a significant role in shaping the economic landscape of western Uttar Pradesh. Moradabad district, located along the banks of the Ramganga, represents a classic example of a river-based regional economy. The present study offers a comprehensive geographical analysis of the impact of the Ramganga River on the economy of Moradabad district, with special emphasis on agriculture, irrigation, industry, urbanization, employment generation, and environmental sustainability. Spatial and descriptive-analytical techniques have been applied to understand the river economy relationship. The findings reveal that the Ramganga River has been instrumental in enhancing agricultural productivity, supporting industrial clusters particularly the brassware industry and facilitating urban growth. However, increasing pollution, flood hazards, and unsustainable water exploitation have emerged as serious challenges, threatening the long-term economic sustainability of the district. The study emphasizes the need for integrated river basin management and sustainable development strategies to preserve the economic benefits derived from the Ramganga River.},
