This actual river should be distinguished from its mythological counterpart. For the river in Orissa sometimes known as the Vaitarna, see Baitarani River.
The Vaitarana River is a river north of the city of Mumbai, India, near its border with Gujarat.[1]
Vaitarna supplies much of Mumbai's drinking water. It is the largest river in the Northern Konkan region and drains Maharashtra's whole Palghar District.
It has a confluence with the Tanasa just before it enters the Arabian Sea. Jhow and Wadhiv islands lie in its estuary. Arnala Island lies off its mouth.
Legacy
The SS Vaitarna, a steamship, was named after the river.
