Support to the National Water Mission NAPCC Appendix 3 Kshipra Sub Basin 1 A. Kshipra Sub Basin Characteristics I. SURFACE WATER RESOURCES 1. The Kshipra is a river of Central India, also called Kshipra or Avanti nadi. The Kshipra river originates in the Vindhya Range and flows in a northerly direction across the Malwa plateau to join the Chambal River. Upstream of its confluence with the Chambal, the Kshipra has a catchment area of 5600 km 2 . Its nominal source is on the Kokri Bardi hill, 20km south-east of Indore near the small village of Ujeni (22° 31' N. and 76° E.). It is considered as sacred as the Ganga river by the Hindus. The holy city of Ujjain is located on the right bank of the Kshipra river. The river flows in a general north-westerly direction and has a very sinuous course. The total course of about 190km flows through Indore, Dewas and Gwalior districts of the state; it finally joins the Chambal near Kalu-Kher village (23° 53' N. and 75° 31''). The main tributaries of Kshipra include the Khan river near Ujjain and the Ghambir river near Mahidpur. The main course of the Kshipra lies over the grassy plains of Malwa between low banks and from Mahidpur and it is characterised by high rocky banks. Over the years the river has lost its perennial nature and now runs dry for a period of 5 to 6 months per year. The water of the Kshipra is used for drinking, industrial and lift irrigation purposes. The main land use along the river is agriculture. The basin location and key topographic and drainage details are shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Kshipra sub-basin
