The Datia district comes under the Gangetic drainage system and is  drained by the Sind, the Pahuj, the Mahuar and the Betwa. The former  two,            however form the drainage system of the main body of the  district. The rivers are almost seasonal and have heavy run off only  during the peak period of July and            August in the rainy season. During the dry season most of the  streams become dry and water is available only in some channels of the  main stream.
RESERVOIR:-
The Ramsagar Reservoir is a man made water body. The origin and the year  of completion of the reservoir is not known, however, the information  from Irrigation            Department, Datia showed that it was completed before  independence i.e. 1947. The reservoir is located around 80 kms south of  Gwalior and 28 kms north of Jhansi           in District Datia at an altitude of 229 msl. It lies between  25o40.489 N latitude and 78o23.887 E longitude. The reservoir is  surrounded by hills on the eastern           and western sides, which drain their runoff in the reservoir  through various nullahs prominent among these being the Pateria from  eastern side, Badi nadi from            southern side and Patparu from the western side. There is an  earthen dam on the Northern side of reservoir. The length of the dam is  506 m and the top width            is 3.75 m. The maximum height of the dam from lowest river bed  level is 26.8 m. The Sindh river basin forms approximately 46 Sq. km of  catchment area of the           reservoir. The reservoirs command area constitutes an area of  more than 1050 hectares. The water spread area fluctuates due to  irregular rainfall and the extensive           usage of the water. The water stored in the reservoir is being  supplied for drinking to the people in the Datia city. In addition the  locals use the water for           irrigation and fisheries development.Various indices, their  bases and trophic status of Ramsagar reservoir have been given in table  1. On the basis of the studies            on the trophic status it is concluded that the Ramsagar  reservoir is a mesotrophic water body with moderate quantity of  nutrients. The water body can serve as a           good habitat for aquatic organisms and can also be very well  used for stocking of Indian major carps for their cultivation.
