Uivar (; ; ) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of four villages: Pustiniș, Răuți, Sânmartinu Maghiar and Uivar (commune seat). Two other villages, Otelec and Iohanisfeld, which had been part of Uivar commune since 1968, were split off in 2008 to form Otelec commune. == Geography == Uivar is situated in the lowland area of the Banat Plain, which, prior to the hydro-improvement works of the 18th century, was a vast marshland dotted with occasional gravel patches. The terrain is flat, with elevations ranging from 75 to 85 meters, and is bordered by a network of meanders, oxbow lakes, and large depressions.
Uivar is located within the Timiș–Bega hydrographic basin. The main watercourses in the area include the Bega Canal, the Beregsău and Timișat streams, and the Țeba–Timișat Canal, all complemented by an extensive network of drainage canals. The Bega Canal traverses the commune from east to southwest over a length of 22 km. The Țeba and Timișat, now regulated, were formerly natural branches of the Bega River prior to its canalization.
