Sengar River is a tributary of the river Yamuna in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Sengar originates near Adhawan lake in Aligarh district and drains Etawah, Mainpuri and Kanpur districts before it confluences with the Yamuna between Kalpi and Hamirpur. It has a total length of 304 km. The Sengar flows parallel to the Yamuna in Etawah district and is joined by the Sirsa river near Amritpur. It forms a doab with the Rind in Kanpur district. Much of the Sengar's basin in Etawah and Kanpur districts is under red loamy soil. The 1878 settlement report for Kanpur district also notes that the river is fringed by a series of ravines that had impacted adversely the fertility of the soil in the river's vicinity.
