The Dhasan River is a right bank tributary of the Betwa River. The river originates in Begumganj tehsil of Raisen district in Madhya Pradesh state in central India.
The river forms the southeastern boundary of the Lalitpur District of Uttar Pradesh state. Total length of the river is km, out of which km lies in Madhya Pradesh, 54 km common boundary between Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh and 71 km in Uttar Pradesh. The river was known as the Dasharna in ancient period. There is a water quality station at Garrloi on River Dhasan.
Ken is an inter-state river, flowing through the state of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The river originates near the village Ahirgawab in Jabalpur District of Madhya Pradesh at an altitude of m above near sea level and joins the Yamuna River, near Chilla village of U.
It forms the common boundary between Panna and Chattarpur district of M. The river has a total length of km, out of which km lies in M. The total catchment area of the Ken river basin is 28, sq km, out of which 24, sq km lies in M.
The longest tributary is Sonar which is km in length and lies wholly in M. The catchment area of the Sonar river is 12, sq km. River Sind is one of the second largest right bank tributaries of Yamuna. It rises at a height of m above sea level in Vidisha District of Madhya Pradesh. It flows generally in north- east direction for a distance of km before joining Yamuna 20 km upstream of Auraiya.
Important tributaries of Sind are Parwati and Kunwari on its left bank and Pahuj on the right bank. It is probably river Sindhu mentioned in epic Vishnu Purana. The Chambal River, called Charmanvati in ancient times, is the largest of the rivers flowing through Rajasthan state. This tributary of Yamuna is km long. The total area drained by the Chambal up to its confluence with the Yamuna is , sq km out of which 76, sq km lies in M.
Its total catchment area is 1,39, sq. It flows initially in north direction for a length of km upto Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan Border. The river then enters Rajasthan and after flowing for a distance of 38 km turns clockwise and takes a north easterly course. At km from its origin, it receives its major tributary Kalisindh from the right near the village Laban and further 22 km below another tributary Mej from the left.
The river continues to flow in north easterly direction for a further distance of 40 km when it is joined by another major right bank tributary Parwati near village Pali.
Thus, the river flows in Madhya Pradesh for a length of km. River Chambal then forms a common boundary between Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan for a length of km River Banas, a major left bank tributary joins Chambal in this reach near village Rameshwar.
Thus, the river flows in Rajasthan for a length of km The river then forms common boundary between Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh for km and continues in northeasterly direction upto village Pinhat. It then gradually turns right and flows in south —easterly direction to enter in Uttar Pradesh, north west of village Chakar Nagar. Topographically, out of total area of 1,39, sq km of the basin, about sq km around the origin of the river can be classified as hilly and rest as plains.
Three major dams and one barrage have been constructed on this river forming a series of hydraulic structures known as Chambal Project. Gundhi Sagar is the first dam located on the boundary of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Flowing in the M. The catchment area of the Kalisindh River is sq km. The Parwan River is the important tributaries of Kalisindh River. The Parwan originate in the Malwa Plateau and after flowing for about km in M.
Its join Kali Sindh near Ramgarh village in Kota district. Yamuna River enters Delhi near Palla village after traversing for about km. The state of Haryana has completed its portion of the canal but Punjab is yet to complete its portion.
Punjab Government is not in favour of construction of this canal. Recently, the Punjab legislature passed an act known as the Punjab Termination of Agreement Act whereby the earlier agreements have been declared as null and void. Further downstream, there is a barrage at Wazirabad which supplies drinking water to the city of Delhi. Generally, the flow in the river downstream of the Wazirabad barrage is almost nil in dry season because the available water is not adequate to meet the demand of Delhi.
Yamuna River flow downstream of the Wazirabad barrage largely consists of untreated or partially treated domestic and industrial wastewater contributed by numerous drains along with the water transported by Haryana Irrigation Department from the Western Yamuna Canal WYC to the Agra Canal via the Nazafgarh Drain and the Yamuna.
About 22 km downstream of the Wazirabad barrage, the Yamuna water is diverted into the Agra Canal for irrigation through the Okhla barrage.
Generally, water flow through the barrage during the dry season is nil. Whatever water flows in the river beyond the Okhla barrage is contributed through domestic and industrial wastewaters generated by East Delhi, Noida and Sahibabad and joins the river through the Shahdara drain. This large ratio is indicative of a wide temporal variation in the flow.
During non-monsoon period the entire inflow at Tajewala is diverted to canal systems leaving the river dry. However downstream of this point the river starts picking effluent seepage from ground water reservoir. Further downstream, Yamuna flows through the Agra city which is famous for Tajmahal, a white marble wonder. Shortly afterwards, it passes through another historical city, Mathura.
The total length of the Yamuna from its origin to Allahabad confluence with Ganga is 1, km and the drainage area is , sq. The Yamuna is a mighty river in itself and has a number of tributaries. Later, big rivers, such as the Chambal, the Sind, the Betwa, and the Ken, join it. The area of the Yamuna catchment lying in different states is shown below:.
The catchment of Yamuna River in various states. Name of State Catchment area in the state. For the purpose of flood forecasting, tracking of Yamuna River begins at Poanta in Garhwal area on the confluence of rivers Tons, Pawar and Giri. The next important site is at Tajewala followed by Kalanaur and Mawi before Delhi. It roughly takes about 60 hours for the water to reach Delhi from Tajewala, which enables issue of warnings at least two days in advance.
Statewise allocation of utilizable flows of Yamuna River is shown below. The Interstate Agreement also envisages that a minimum flow of 10 cumec shall be maintained in Yamuna downstream of Tajewala and Okhla head works throughout the year for ecological considerations.
It is also assessed that a quantum of MCM is not utilizable due to flood spills. The allocation of available flows amongst the beneficiary states is regulated by the Upper Yamuna River Board. In a year when the surface-water availability is more than the assessed quantity, the surplus availability will be distributed amongst the states in proportion to their allocation. However, in a year when availability is less than the assessed quantity,.
The Yamuna River can be segmented in five distinguished independent segments due to characteristic hydrological and ecological conditions as shown below:. Different Segments of Yamuna River. In the Himalayan segment Upper Yamuna catchment , the drainage system and the characteristics of landforms are closely interdependent and inter-related.
