Confluence with West Banas River, 12 km downstream of Dantiwada Dam

The Sipu River is the principal tributary of the Banas River, located in the Sirohi district of Rajasthan, India. It originates from the Sirohi and Mount Abu hills, making it an integral part of the region's geographical landscape.[1]

Course

Approximately 30% of the direct runoff from the majestic Mount Abu hills finds its way into the Sipu River, while the remaining 70% flows into the Banas River. This division of runoff showcases the significant role that the Sipu River plays in the hydrological system of the region.

Confluence

The Sipu River meets the West Banas River at a confluence situated 12 kilometers downstream of the notable Dantiwada Dam. This juncture of rivers not only holds ecological importance but also has historical significance for the local communities.
