Tributaries of Narmada River

The absence of tributaries is especially noted on the right bank of the river where the Hiran is the only exception.

The other right bank tributaries are the Orsang, the Barna and the Kolar.

A few left bank tributaries drain the northern slopes of the Satpura Range and join the Narmada at different places.

The major Hydro Power Project in the basin are Indira Sagar, Sardar Sarovar, Omkareshwar, Bargi & Maheshwar.
