The Malini River originates in the Shivalika range of Uttarakhand and flows through both Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh before joining the Ganga. It is a relatively short, non-perennial river. The Malini River is also known as the Ramganga.
Origin and flow: The Malini River begins in the Shivalika range of Uttarakhand. It then flows through the districts of Pauri Garhwal, Kotdwar, and Bijnor before merging with the Ganga.
Catchment area: The river’s catchment area is roughly 400km².
Length: It covers about 140-150km.
Non-perennial nature: The Malini is a non-perennial river, meaning its flow is not continuous throughout the year. Post rainy season and pre winters (October-November) the water level near Karnasharam, Uttarakhand, drops significantly thus, creating several dissected streams and small pools that traps several fishes.
The area in Uttarakhand is prone to heavy landslides during monsoon which affect the regular change in size and shape of river.
