Topographically, the area comprises small hillocks as a part of Aravalli range and sand-dunes. There is no perennial stream in the district. There is no perennial stream in the District Rewari. The main streams in the district are Sahibi and Krishnawati rivers. Sahibi River is an ephemeral river and rises from Mewat hills in Jaipur Alwar in Rajasthan and after gathering water from several tributaries, forms a broad stream and enters the district near Pawti, Tehsil Bawal after which it enters Rajasthan and then re-enters Haryana near village Jarthal. The district, except in its Eastern part is flat and sandy and absorbs all the rain water. The Krishnawati River enters in the Southern part from Mahendragarh district and nearly makes a border between Mahendragarh and Rewari district. This is a blind river and its water gets absorbed by sandy soils. The flooding water is useful for crops and contributes to ground water recharge. There are various other small nalas also carry rain water from the hills during monsoon season. 2.2 The main canal of district is JawahLal Nehru canal. It’s distributes i.e. Dawana Disty, Sunmakhera Disty, Bhurthal Disty, Kakauria Disty, Jitpur Disty, Raliwas Disty, Kamalpur Disty, Rajiaka Disty, Tankari Disty and Sunjarpur Disty are irrigated the largest area in the North, middle and south part of district. The Aulant and Rampurr distributes of Mahindergarh canal also irrigated the west part of District. The Pataudi minor, Hansawa minor, Loharu minor and sherpur minor are irrigated the north part of District. 7 Map no.2.1- Irrigation and Drainage System in District Rewari 8 Chapter-03 Flood Vulnerability in District 3.1 In general, there is no flood like situation during the Monsoon Season. There are two main streams, viz. the Sahibi and the Krishanavati enter the district from Rajasthan. All these cause floods in the rainy season and have been a source of damage in the district. The District was flooded due to heavy rains in the catchments area of river Sahibi which is situated in the Southeastern part of the district. Maximum discharge was experienced in the year 1977 in this river and many villages of the district were affected during the period. Keeping in view the flood loss in the region, Masani Barrage constructed of in 1980 but after the construction of Masani Barrage, the river has ceased to carry the run-off because of the reason that a number of check dams have been constructed by Rajasthan Govt. across certain tributaries which used to carry water in river Sahibi. The last flood was observed in the Year 1995-96 with local affects along Sahibi River basin due to sudden discharge in the order of 50,000 Cs was received in District Rewari due to failure of series of earthen check Bunds in Alwar District, Rajasthan due to Cloud Burst. This type of situation can also arise in the future as well. The maps 3.1 and 3.2 shows the pathways of river Sahibi in Tehsils. In addition to this, flood water also enters in Rewari Town passing through villages Nangli Godha, Bharawas, Chhuriawas and Dhamlawas when ever there is heavy rain in the Arawali foothills of Tankri area. However Rewari drain has been constructed and made functional to intercept this flood water and allowed to flow in JLN Canal avoiding inundation of Rewari Town. One more point entering flood water from the Arawali foothills of khol area is Nangal Mundi village where protection bund around the village had also been constructed. 3.2 During the previous rainy seasons, it was experienced that a sheet flow emerges right of Rewari-Dharuhera road near village Hansaka and crosses this road at 3-4 points. This sheet flow of flood water cause inconvenience to traffic and public in general and disrupts normal life. Necessary culverts are being constructed by PWD (B&R) authorities at appropriate places under this road to provide relief to the traffic movement and Abadi in the adjacent areas. 9 Map No.3.1 River Sahibi passing through Tehsil Rewari Map No.3.2 River Sahibi passing through Tehsil Bawal 3.3 During the year 2006, there were heavy rains in the area of Tapukara hills of Rajasthan and the flood water passing through Bhiwadi inundated NH-8 near Dharuhera town and Alawalpur village disrupting traffic movement and normal public life for 2-3 days. Necessary 10 steps are being taken by NHAI authorities to provide passage to this water by constructing the drains. All of above, breaches also reported in JNL canal in monsoon season in the year 1995 as well as 2010. It may also cause of flooding in small pockets. However, there are few chronic flood prone villages where flood may occur due to their topographical and geographic reasons during monsoon season.
