'''Swarna River''' (also spelled '''Suvarna River''') is a river located in the [[Udupi district]] of [[Karnataka]], India. It is a west-flowing river that originates in the [[Western Ghats]] and empties into the [[Arabian Sea]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Vanik |first1=Naimisha |last2=Patidar |first2=Atul Kumar |last3=Kumar |first3=Abhishek |last4=A L |first4=Alin |last5=Mishra |first5=Vidushi |title=Terrain analysis and hydrogeomorphic investigation of the Sita-Swarna river basin, Udupi, SW India: Insights from remote sensing methods |journal=Quaternary Science Advances |date=October 2023 |volume=12 |article-number=100125 |doi=10.1016/j.qsa.2023.100125 |bibcode=2023QSAdv..1200125V |doi-access=free }}</ref> There is one [[Central Water Commission|CWC]] [[Hydrological Observation Station]] at [[Yennehole]] on this river.<ref>{{cite web |title=DETAILS OF HYDROLOGICAL OBSERVATION STATIONS AS ON 01ST JANUARY 2021 |url=https://cwc.gov.in/sites/default/files/ho-book-2021.pdf |website=cwc.gov.in |publisher=CENTRAL WATER COMMISSION |access-date=2 March 2025}}</ref><br />

==Course==<br />
The Swarna River originates in the foothills of the [[Western Ghats]] and flows westward through several villages, including [[Yennehole]] [[Perdoor]], [[Hiriadka]], [[Parkala]], [[Manipal]], Perampalli, and Uppoor, before reaching its confluence with the [[Arabian Sea]] near [[Kodi Bengre]]. It covers a distance of approximately 55 kilometers.<ref>{{cite web |title=Swarna River of Udupi |url=https://www.udupilive.in/guide/swarna-river-of-udupi |website=udupilive.in |access-date=2 March 2025}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Hydrology==<br />
The Swarna River is primarily rain-fed and experiences peak flow during the monsoon season, typically from June to September. The river has tributaries, including the Yennehole and Kaud Hole, which merge to form the main river.<ref>{{cite web |title=Swarna |url=https://indiawris.gov.in/wiki/doku.php?id=swarna |website=indiawris.gov.in |publisher=INDIA WRIS WIKI |access-date=2 March 2025}}</ref>{{unreliable source|date=May 2025}}<br />
<br />
==Dams and water supply==<br />
Three dams have been constructed along the Swarna River, one at Yennehole village, the second at Hiriyadka and the third at Shiroor. The first dam- constructed in Yennehole- is providing water supply for agriculture and drinking to nearby villages like Hermunde, Ajekar and Yennehole. Another two dams are crucial for supplying drinking water to [[Udupi|Udupi City]] and the surrounding areas. The river also supports agriculture, particularly rice and coconut farming, in the region.{{fact|date=March 2025}}<br />
