The '''Chautang''', originating in [[Siwalik Hills]], is a tributary of [[Sarsuti]] river which in turn is tributary of [[Ghaggar-Hakra River|Ghaggar river]] in of [[Haryana]] state of [[India]].<ref name="Ambala">[http://www.ambalaonline.in/city-guide/rivers-in-ambala AmbalaOnline - Rrvers of Ambala]</ref><ref name="IE1">{{cite news | url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/overflowing-ghaggar-tangri-inundate-some-villages-along-punjabharyana-border/687474/ | newspaper=The Indian Express | title=Overflowing Ghaggar, Tangri inundate some villages along Punjab-Haryana border | first=Sanjeev | last=Chopra | date=25 September 2010 | access-date=9 April 2017 }}</ref>

==Origin and route==
The Chautang river is a seasonal river in the state of [[Haryana]], [[India]]. It is theorized by some to be a remnant of the ancient river [[Drsadvati]]<ref name="McIntosh"/> and joins the [[Ghaggar| Ghaggar-Hakra River]] east of [[Suratgarh]] in [[Rajasthan]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=D7aw5mfscBMC&q=Chautang+river&pg=PT217|title=Climates, Landscapes, and Civilizations|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|access-date=18 February 2014|isbn=9781118704431|date=9 May 2013}}</ref> Some, who haven't read the [[Nadistuti sukta]] of the [[Rig veda]] erroneously suggest, that the Drsadvati river is actually the [[Arghandab River]] in Afghanistan. According to McIntosh, this river was one of the main contributors to this river system until the [[Yamuna]] changed its course.<ref name="McIntosh">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1AJO2A-CbccC&q=Chautang+river&pg=PA407|title=The Ancient Indus Valley: New perspectives|last=McIntosh|first=Jane|access-date=18 February 2014|isbn=9781576079072|year=2008}}</ref> However, according to Giosan, the Chautang is a rain-fed river, and the Yamuna changed its course towards east some 50,000 to 10,000 years ago, and didn't pour any water into it for the last 10,000 years.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Fluvial landscapes of the Harappan civilization|year=2012|author=Giosan, Liviu|display-authors=etal|doi=10.1073/pnas.1112743109|volume=109|number=26|journal=PNAS|pmid=22645375|pmc=3387054|pages=E1688–E1694|doi-access=free}}</ref>{{quotation requested|date=February 2016}} [[Western Yamuna Canal#Hansi Branch|Hansi Branch]] of [[Western Yamuna Canal]] is palaeochannel of this river.
