Southern Rivers In Haryana

The rivers in the Southern drainage system originate from the Aravalli range that lie in the Southern part of Haryana. Following are the major rivers of this drainage system:

Sahibi River:

The Sahibi river originates in the Mewat hills near Jitgarh and Manoharpur in Rajasthan. After reaching Rohtak, it branches off into two smaller streams and finally reaches the outskirts of Delhi. Then, it flows into the Yamuna. The total length of the river is close to 300 km and it drains a catchment area of 4,442 sq km.

  • This river originates from the Mewat hills of the Aravalli range of Rajasthan. This river takes extensive water from the small drains before Teaching Alwar and Patan in Rajasthan.
  • In Haryana, this river is also known as Sabi River.
  • It is a rain-fed river of Haryana, which is known as Najafgarh drain in Delhi.

  • Flowing between Khalilpur and Pataudi through Rewari tehsil, the river enters Jhajjar district near Lahori village.
  • After leaving Jhajjar district, this river enters Gurugram district near Khedí Sultan. After covering some distance (about 13 km) in Gurugram, it again enters Jhajjar district near Kutani village and finally joins Yamuna river through Najafgarh drain in Delhi.
  • Most of the rivers originating from Aravalli flow towards the South, but Sahibi river, as an exception, flows to the North of Jaipur and Alwar.
