Bara River

Bara River is a river in Khyber District in the Peshawar Division of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan. The Bara River originates in the Tirah Valley of Bara Tehsil, Khyber District. It joins the Kabul River Canal which originates from the Warsak Dam, and re-enters Peshawar. Then it flows in a north-easterly direction to the Nowshera District, eventually joining the Kabul River near Camp Koruna, Akbarpura. Due to its higher elevation, very limited areas flow through gravity into Bara river.
The Bara River is noted to have some pollutants - including both from industry and from village sewage, the river flows all year round due to melting snow and rainfall, the highest flows are April and May while January has the lowest.
