Chambal River System :

The Chambal River originates from the Singar Chouri peak on the northern slopes of the Vidhyan escarpment near Mhow-south-west of Indore in Malwa Plateau and fl ows towards the north in a gorge upto the city of Kota.
Below Kota, it turns to the north-east, and after passing Bundi, Sawai-Madhopur and Dholpur, it finally joins the Yamuna about 40 km to the west of Etawah.
The Banas River, rising from the Aravalli Range is its main left bank tributary.
Kali Sind, Shipra and Parbati originating from the Malwa Plateau are the right bank tributaries of Chambal.
The Chambal River is famous for its extensive ravines which it has carved all along in the Lower Chambal Valley.
The ravines of the Chambal Basin are attributed to a slight uplift during the recent geological times, and they merge into the Yamuna alluvial plain where the landscape is extensively etched out by other tributaries of the Yamuna to the east and west of Chambal.
Various multipurpose projects have been constructed across the river.
