Origin From Kali Kundi Glacier
Tawi river originates from the lapse of Kali Kundi glacier and adjoining area southwest of Bhadarwah in Doda District. Its catchment is delineated by latitude 32°35'-33°5'N and longitude 74°35'-75°45'E. The catchment area of the river up to Indian border (Jammu) is 2168 km² and falls in the districts of Jammu, Udhampur and a small part of Doda. Elevation in the catchment varies between 400 and 4000 m.
The flow of water in the river has been decreasing in recent years as the source glacier (Kali Kundi glacier) has been retreating.

The desert sighs in the bed,
And the crack in the tea-cup opens
A lane to the land of the dead.”
