The Ujh river originates in Kailash mountains (near Bhaderwah hills, part of the Pir Panjal Range) at an altitude of 4,300 metres (14,100 ft).

[2] Four streams, Bhini, Sutar, Dunarki and Talan join Ujh at Panjtirthi.

[3] The water of Ujh river is used for drinking, irrigation and to feed a number of small canals and khuls of the district.

[2] A new Ujh dam is proposed higher up the course of the river as it passes through the outer hills (32°33′48″N 75°29′16″E / 32.5633°N 75.4878°E / 32.5633; 75.4878).

The dam is projected to store 925 million cubic metres of water and generate 196 MW of electricity.
