The '''Bori River''' is a tributary of the [[Bhima River]], the main tributary of the [[Krishna River]], in [[Maharashtra]] and [[Karnataka]], India. It rises in the [[Balaghat Range]] near the hills of [[Dharur, Beed|Dharur]] and flows southwards towards [[Akkalkot]]. Important places on or near its course include the town of [[Tuljapur]], and the medieval fort of [[Naldurg]].<ref>Devarkar, V. (2012). Pollen Diversity of Osmanabad (India).

The Bori River originates in the Balaghat Range near the hills of Dharur in [[Maharashtra]]. It flows predominantly southward, passing through [[Osmanabad district]]. Along its course, it flows close to the town of [[Tuljapur]] and skirts the base of the historic [[Naldurg Fort]], where its course briefly widens, creating natural defensive moats around the fort walls. The river continues its course through the [[Deccan Plateau]], receiving seasonal streams and runoff from nearby agricultural land.<br />
<br />
The [[Kurnur Dam]], located near the confluence of the Bori and Harna rivers, regulates the flow of the river and provides water for irrigation and domestic use in the surrounding region. After crossing into [[Karnataka]], the Bori ultimately joins the [[Bhima River]] from the left near the town of [[Afzalpur]], contributing to the Bhima’s flow as it continues southeastward toward the Krishna River basin.<br />
<br />
The river’s hydrology is characterized by seasonal variability, with high discharge during the southwest monsoon (June to September) and significantly reduced flow during the dry months. This seasonal nature affects both agriculture and water availability in the catchment area.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Study on Diversity of Zooplanktons from Kurnur Dam in Akkalkot, Maharashtra |url=https://iijls.com/currentissue/Study_Diversity_Zooplanktons_Kurnur_Dam_Akkalkot_Maharashtra.pdf}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Patil |first=Sahebagouda S. |last2=More |first2=Vithal R. |date=2018 |title=Seasonal changes in zooplankton community structure at kurnur dam |url=https://indianjournals.com/article/pa-18-2-004 |journal=Progressive Agriculture |language=en |volume=18 |issue=2 |pages=178–183}}</ref><br />
