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 The main canal of district is Jawahar Lal 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.

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 whenever 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.
