Abstract

Hindon river is an important tributary of Yamuna river and originates from upper Shiwalik in Lower Himalayan Range (Jain et al. 2007). The river flows through Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, Meerut and Ghaziabad in western Uttar Pradesh and covers a distance of about 200 km before joining the Yamuna river downstream of Delhi (Jain et al. 2003).
