In its upper reaches it flows mainly through a deep gorge and in its middle and lower course, through the Indo-Gangetic Plain, where it divides into branches and channels.

The river is navigable below Delhi, and its waters are extensively utilized for irrigation. Among the cities situated on the Yamuna are Delhi, Agra, and Allahabad.
