The Dheel or Dhil is a river in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It originates in the plains near Bauli village in Tonk district and flows from north to south through the districts of Jaipur, Tonk and Sawai Madhopur.[1][2] It is a tributary of the Banas River, itself a tributary of the Chambal River, which in turn merges into the Yamuna.[3][4]
Dheel Dam is built on the Dheel River.

In the region of Banas and Dhil river are monsoon fed. The Dhil river has cut across the Aravalli hills and forms the Jamroli gap. The drainage pattern between two hills is more or less rectangular. Average drainage density and stream frequency of this region are 6-9 and 0.75, respectively. The Boanli hills are covered with moderate forests, which has been depleted in the last few years.

It consists of several rolling mounds, which measure 2500 ft. east-west and 1800 ft. north-south and rise to a height of from 15 to 25 ft. above the bed of the river Dhil, a tributary of the Banas, which surrounds the mound on three sides except the west.
