HISTORY
The history of Rewari is contemporary to the history of Delhi. During the Mahabharata period, a king named Rewat had a daughter named Rewati. The father used to call her Rewa. He founded a city named “Rewa Wadi” after her. When Rewa married Balram, elder brother of Lord Krishna, the king donated the city “Rewa Wadi” as dowry for her daughter. In course of time, the name Rewa Wadi became Rewari.

 he overall climate is dry and some parts are semi-arid. Rain falls from July to September. A little rain is experienced during winter also. The average rainfall in Rewari is less than 500 mm. Rain-fed Sahibi river that originates in Rajasthan passes through Rewari and falls in Najafgarh lake in Delhi. Extremely heavy rains in 1978 flooded Sahibi which in turn flooded Delhi. A barrage was then constructed at Masani village on junction of NH8 and NH71B to impound the water coming from Rajasthan. However, the rains have not been heavy for the last 30 years and the barrage has hardly collected any water. Now a canal has been constructed to bring excess rain water from other areas of Haryana, particularly flood water of Yamuna, to the barrage to recharge the ground drinking water for Rewari town.
