Course
Approximately 30% of the direct runoff from the majestic Mount Abu hills finds its way into the Sipu River, while the remaining 70% flows into the West Banas River. This division of runoff showcases the significant role that the Sipu River plays in the hydrological system of the region.
Confluence
The Sipu River meets the West Banas River at a confluence situated 12 kilometers downstream of the notable Dantiwada Dam. This juncture of rivers not only holds ecological importance but also has historical significance for the local communities.
