The '''Tawa River''' is a tributary of the [[Narmada River]] of [[Central India]].

==Course==
The Tawa is the Narmada's longest tributary, at 172 km. It rises in the [[Satpura Range]] of [[Betul District|Betul]] and flowing north and west, joins the Narmada at the village of Bandra Bhan in [[Hoshangabad District]].<ref name=india9>{{cite web|url = http://www.india9.com/i9show/Tawa-River-65822.htm | title = Tawa River |publisher =India9 |access-date = 2010-08-19 }}</ref>

==Dam==
In 1958, construction began on Tawa Dam, which was completed in 1978 in [[Tawa Nagar]] to create Tawa Reservoir in southern Hoshangabad District. Forty-four villages were submerged by the reservoir.<ref name=india9/>

==Surroundings==
India's oldest forest preserve, the [[Bori Reserve Forest]], was established in 1865 along the Tawa. The Bori Reserve Forest is part of the [[Bori Sanctuary]], which is part of the [[Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve]], established in 1999, which covers much of the upper watershed of the Tawa.
