- The Arvari River, which originates in Aravalli range, is a small river flowing through the Alwar District of Rajasthan, India. It has a total length of 45 km (28 mi) and a total basin area of 492 squared kilometers. Downstream of the Sainthal Sagar dam on Arvari, the Arvari river meets Sarsa River to become the Sanwan River. The Sanwan meets the Tildah and Banganga rivers to confluence with the Gambhir (also known as the Utang river). Gambhir then confluences with the Yamuna in Mainpuri district of Uttar Pradesh, Yamuna confluences with Ganges at Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj. The Arvari is the main water source for the Alwar district. It is notable for having its flow restored after being dry for 60 years. This process began in 1986, and required the efforts of the people of the Bhanota-Kolyala village, with the help of Dr. Rajendra Singh. The villages that lay in the river's catchment area built earthen dams, with largest being a 244 m long and 7 m wide. Following the construction of 375 dams, the river started to flow again, becoming a perennial river in 1995. The Arvari River Parliament was formed in 1998 to help maintain the health of the river.
