Sahibi River
The Sahibi River, also called the Sabi River, is an ephemeral, rain-fed river flowing through Rajasthan, Haryana (where its canalised portion is called the "Outfall Drain No 8") and Delhi states in India. It originates in the eastern slopes of the Saiwar Protected Forest (PF) hills in Sikar District, enters Jaipur district near the foot of these hills, and after initially flowing southeast and east turns northeastwards near Shahpura and continues further till it exits Rajasthan to enter Haryana and further drains into Yamuna in Delhi, where its channeled course is also called the Najafgarh drain, which also serves as Najafgarh drain bird sanctuary. It flows for 300 km of which 157 km is in Rajasthan 100 km is in Haryana and 40 km in Delhi.
The current and paleochannels of the Sahibi River have several important wetlands that lie in series, including the Masani barrage wetland, Matanhail forest, Chhuchhakwas-Godhari, Khaparwas Wildlife Sanctuary, Bhindawas Wildlife Sanctuary, Outfall Drain Number 6 (canalised portion in Haryana of Sahibii river), Outfall Drain Number 8 (canalised portion in Haryana of Dohan river which is a tributary of the Sahibi), Sarbashirpur, Sultanpur National Park, Basai Wetland, Najafgarh lake and Najafgarh drain bird sanctuary, and The Lost lake of Gurugram, all of which are home to endangered and migratory birds, yet largely remain unprotected under extreme threat from the colonisers and builders.
Several Ochre Coloured Pottery culture sites (also identified as late Harappan phase of Indus Valley Civilisation culture) have been found along the banks of the Sahibi and its tributaries such as Krishnavati River, Dohan River (originates near Neem Ka Thana in Alwar district) and Sota River (merges with the Sahibi River at Behror in Alwar district and its canalised portion in Haryana is called the "Outfall Drain No 6"). The drainage pattern for all these rivers is dendritic.
The Sahibi River originates from the eastern slopes of the Saiwar Protected Forest hills in Aravalli Range near Jitgarh and Manoharpur in Sikar district of Rajasthan state. After covering about 157 km distance in the Rajasthan state. After gathering volume from a hundred tributaries, the Sahibi River forms a broad stream around Alwar and Kotputli.
These west to north-west flowing rivers originate from the western slopes of Aravalli Range in Rajasthan, flow through semi-arid historical Shekhawati region, and drain into southern Haryana.
Sabi River Basin is located in the mid north eastern part of Rajasthan. It stretches between 27° 18' 39.13” to 28° 13' 55.10” North latitude and 76° 58' 21.09’’ to 75° 45' 35.05’’ East longitude. It is bounded in the northwest by Shekhawati River Basin and Ruparail and Banganga River Basins in the southeast. The northern boundary is shared administratively with Haryana State. The Basin extends over parts of Jaipur Rural and Neem Ka Thana, Kot Behror, Khairthal, Rewari, Jhajjar, Gurugram districts. The total catchment area of the Basin is 4607.9 km2.
The catchment area of the Sahibi River encompasses the following cities and towns: Sikar, Jaipur, and Kotputli in northeastern Rajasthan state; Rewari district, Gurgaon district and Jhajjar district in southern Haryana state; and Delhi state.
The catchment area of the Sahibi River in Rajasthan is 4,523.67 square kilometres (1,746.60 mi2) of Jaipur, Alwar and Sikar districts, between latitudes 27°16' and 28°11' and longitudes 75°42' and 76°57'. The Sahibi Basin falls in three districts of Rajasthan: Alwar district (62.11%), Jaipur district (29.30%) and Sikar district (8.59%).
