Kharkai is the principal tributary of river Subarnrekha passing through Chotonagpur plateau. It is formed by the union of two hill streams. Terlo and Koranjai, at the trijunction of Seraikela, Mayurbhanj and Kolhan near Jamshedpur. The length of Kharkai proper is about 80s Km and it is fed by several streams such as Iligara. Jamiragard, Roro, Sanjai etc. Several industries, all along its course discharge their effluents in this river, as a result of which it is considered as one of the most polluted rivers ofthis region.
