The Kali Sindh is a [[perennial stream]] in the Chambal drainage of the [[Yamuna |Yamuna Basin]] of the greater [[Ganges Basin]]. It typically reaches flood stage during the [[monsoon season]] of India. In its lower reaches it forms an alluvial plain. [[Bauxite]] deposits are found along the Kali Sindh in [[Kota district]] at Baselio, Majola, and Sherol-khera.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Bauxite in Rajasthan |work=Mines and Minerals of Rajasthan |url=https://www.rajras.in/index.php/rajasthan-mines-minerals/ }}</ref>

The total length of the Kali Sindh river is 550 kilometers, of which 405 kilometers are in Madhya Pradesh and 145 kilometers in Rajasthan.

It crosses State Highway No 18 east of [[Indore]] near [[Sonkatch]] and blocks the road traffic for hours when in flood.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Madhya Pradesh Flood/ Kali Sindh and Guneri rivers overflowing in Dewas, 52 villages lose contact, flood in Narmada |date=26 August 2019 |newspaper=DB Post |location=Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh |url=https://dbpost.com/madhya-pradesh-flood-kali-sindh-and-guneri-rivers-overflowing-in-dewas-52-villages-lose-contact-flood-in-narmada/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200406204950/https://dbpost.com/madhya-pradesh-flood-kali-sindh-and-guneri-rivers-overflowing-in-dewas-52-villages-lose-contact-flood-in-narmada/ |archive-date=6 April 2020 |url-status=live }}</ref> It crosses [[Shajapur district]].
