Total length of the River Yamuna from its origin near Yamunotri to its confluence with Ganga River at Allahabad is 1376 kilometer. The total basin area of the river is 366223 km 2 which covers part of geographical area in the states of Uttaranchal, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh & NCT – Delhi. ¾ The flow of the Yamuna River varies significantly during monsoon and nonmonsoon seasons. The river constitutes maximum flow i.e. around 80% of the total annual flow during monsoon period. During non-monsoon period the Yamuna cannot be designated as a continuous river but segregated into four independent segments due to the presence of three barrages from where almost the entire water is being diverted for various human activities.
