Rivers & Lakes of Udhampur


Rivers & Lakes

District Udhampur is drained by major rivers namely, the Chenab, the Ans, the Tawi and the Ujh. But due to mountainous & undulating topography, not much utilization of water is possible. The district is prone to drought and only small area of land has been brought under irrigation. Apart from the rivers there are number of lakes and other sources of natural Water in the District. 

In the South-East part of the District there lies a famous Mansar Lake which provides drinking water and is also an interesting picnic spot.
