The '''Sarsuti river''', originating in [[Siwalik Hills]] and flowing through the [[palaeochannel]] of [[Yamuna]], is a 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 | accessdate=9 April 2017 }}</ref><ref name=sarsuti1>B.K.

==Origin and route==
The Sarsuti is a small ephemeral stream that rises in the [[Siwalik Hills]] of south-eastern [[Himachal Pradesh]] in India,<ref name="valdiya"/> and flows through Haryana.<ref name=sarsuti2>[http://cgwb.gov.in/Ground-Water/Final%20print%20version_Palaeochannel%20Expert%20Committee_15thOct2016.pdf PALAEOCHANNELS OF NORTH WEST INDIA], Central Ground Water Board, last page of preface.</ref> It is [[palaeochannel]] of [[Yamuna]] before Yamuna shifted towards east due to [[plate tectonics]] of [[Continental crust|earth's crust]].<ref name=sarsuti2/> It has also been identified as [[Adi Badri, Haryana#Research studies|one of the tributaries]] of [[Sarasvati River]].

It flows south-east where it is joined by two other streams, the [[Markanda river, Haryana|Markanda river]] and the [[Dangri]], before joining the [[Ghaggar]] river near the village of [[Rasula]] [near [[Pehowa]]].<ref name="valdiya"/>

It is thereafter known as the Ghaggar. Further downstream on the banks of the Ghaggar stands an old derelict fort [at [[sirsa]] city] named Sarsuti.<ref name="valdiya"/>

According to Valdiya and Danino, Sarsuti is a corruption of the word [[Sarasvati]], and the 6–8 km wide channel of the Sarsuti–Ghaggar system may have once been the [[Sarasvati River]] mentioned in the [[Rig Veda]].<ref name="valdiya">{{cite book | date=2002 | accessdate=4 May 2015 | authorlink=Kharag Singh Valdiya | first1=K.S. | isbn=9788173714030 | last1=Valdiya | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=F_P4KnbgYyoC | title=Saraswati : the river that disappeared | publisher=Orient Longman | location=Hyderabad | pages=23–27}}</ref><ref name="danino">{{cite book | date=2010 | accessdate=4 May 2015 | authorlink=Michel Danino | first1=Michel | last1=Danino | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8yc7-OirxKEC | title=The lost river : on the trail of the Sarasvatī | publisher=Penguin Books India | location=New Delhi | page=12 | isbn=9780143068648}} (Chapter 1, page 12)</ref>
