The Somb river, also spelled Som river (Hindi: सोम नदी) is a tributary of YamunainHaryana state of India.[1]
The Somb river originates in the Shivalik hills near Adi Badri (Haryana)inYamunanagar district on the border of Haryana and Himachal Pradesh State.
In 1875-76 Pathrala barrageatDadupur was built where Somb river meets Western Yamuna CanalinHaryana.[2]
The basin is classified in two parts, Khadir and Bangar, the higher area that is not flooded in rainy season is called Bangar and the lower flood-prone area is called Khadar.[1]
The Western Yamuna Canal has several check dams in Yamunanagar district and Hydal power is generated at Pathrala barrage.[2] some of which are also used for the hydel power generation.
The Somb river passing through here is considered by some to follow the course of the Rig Vedic Sarasvati river.[3][title missing][author missing][page needed]
