		River Luni is the only well-integrated river system in the Thar Desert of India.

		Comparison of the long-term monsoon rainfall series for the Luni Basin and the Indian region reveals a clear link between the two, and indicates that the clustering of large floods in the last few decades and during the Medieval warming period is a regional phenomenon associated with wetter conditions.

		The river had flowed for millennia originating from the Har-ki-dun glacier, in the Bandarpunch mass of W.Garhwal of the Himalayas flowing through Kurukshetra, Kalibangan, Ganweriwala (in Bahawalpur province, Pakistan), Rann of Kutch (close to Dholavira) and through the Nall lake into the Gulf of Khambat (close to Lothal).
		Yamuna (erstwhile Chambal) which is a tributary of the Ganga, captured the Saraswati source at Paontasaheb (where there is a famous Sikh shrine in Punjab); thus the popular belief of Sangam at Prayag is based on groundtruth: the Yamuna captured Saraswati and took her to join Ganga at Prayag, near Allahabad.
		Thus, due to river capture, Saraswati was deprived of the perennial source of molten glaciers from the Himalayas.

		The reasons for the drying up of the river cannot be explained entirely on the basis of natural causes but rather is a direct cause of development intervention in the shape of small dams.
