It originates near Karoli in Rajasthan and flows around Hindaun City, then through Bharatpur district, and through Dholpur district where it forms the boundary between Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan states. It then enters Mainpuri district of Uttar Pradesh to finally confluences with Yamuna.

Basin[edit]
Origin[edit]
It originates in the from Karoli in Rajasthan and flows around Hindaun City. It flows from south to north up to Kanjoli-Katara Aziz village (Toda Bhim), then towards northeast up to village Mertha of Roopbas Block, before entering Uttar Pradesh. The river again enters Rajasthan near Catchapaura village in Dholpur District and forms the boundary between UP and Rajasthan. It then enters Mainpuri District in UP to finally joins River Yamuna. It flows between the city of Bayana and Brahmbad Village in the Bharatpur district.
Drainage[edit]
Banganga's tributary Sanwan after confluencing with Tildah river then confluences with Banganga River, Banganga then confluences with the Gambhir river (also known as the Utang river), Gambhir then confluences with the Yamuna in Mainpuri district of Uttar Pradesh, Yamuna confluences with Ganges at Triveni Sangam in Allahabad.[2][3][4]
Issues and conservation[edit]
Previously a perennial river, it has now become seasonal due to over exploitation of water resources, lack of conservation actions and climate change. Since it is also the lifeline for the Keoladeo National Park, its conservation is urgently needed.
