About the Jojari River
The Jojari River is a seasonal river of Rajasthan and an important tributary of the Luni River system.
- It originates in the hills near Poondloo (Podalu) village in Nagaur district.
- It flows generally towards the south-west through the Jodhpur region.
- It joins the Luni River near Khejadla/Khejarla Khurd in Jodhpur district.
- It is notable as the only major right-bank tributary of the Luni; most other important tributaries join the Luni from the left bank.
- The Jojari–Luni–Bandi river system has remained in focus due to serious concerns over industrial effluents, untreated wastewater and environmental pollution in western Rajasthan.
