'''Myntdu River''' is one of the major water bodies in Jaintia Hills District, Meghalaya, locally known as 'ka Tawiar ka Takan'&nbsp;(Our Guardian Angel) in the [[Pnar language|Pnar]] dialect. It is a blessing to the residents of the town of [[Jowai]] and adjacent places. Its abundant water is used to irrigate the Myntdu Valley, located on the outskirts of Jowai town.<br />
<br />
The river, originating at {{convert|1420|m|ft}} above sea level, is fit for hydro-power development.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.india9.com/i9show/Myntdu-River-53817.htm |title=Myntdu River in India |website=india9.com}}</ref><br />
