Banas River

The Banas River is a significant waterway in Rajasthan, India, flowing through the district of the same name. It originates from the Aravalli Hills and travels approximately 225 kilometers before joining the Chambal River. The Banas supports local agriculture, providing irrigation to farms along its course, and replenishes groundwater levels. Its basin covers a mix of semi-arid terrain, making it vital for water supply in the region. The river also plays a role in maintaining ecological balance and supporting biodiversity in its riparian zones. Effective management of the Banas River is crucial for sustaining the area's environmental and agricultural needs.
