The Vaitarna River (IAST: Vaitarṇā, pronunciation: [ʋəit̪əɾɳaː]) is a river in Nashik and Palghar district of Maharashtra. The Tansa is its left bank tributary and the Pinjal, Dehraja, and Surya its right bank tributaries. Upper stretches of the Vaitarna are clean but in lower stretches discharge of untreated industrial and civic waste makes the Vaitarna one of the most polluted rivers in India.
