The
Kadhu Nullah
|
This stream, the
largest tributary of the Gomti, enters this district from district Raebareli, and after a
course of about 37 km discharges itself into the Gomti. It is a combination of two
streams. Between the parganas of Jagdishpur and Gaura
Jamo runs a lrage drainage channel known as the Naiya, a term applied to any rain stream.
It is almost dry in the cold weather, but is a torrent in the rains. At Tanda in
Jagdishpur, it is reinforced by another large water course which rises in Parwezpur to the
north and thenceforward the combined stream is known as
the Kandu or Kadhu. In the southeast of the Jagdishpur it is joined by the
another drainage channel serving the villages round into the north. In the extream
northeast of the Gaura Jamon a third deep drainage channel, which runs irregularly from
near Jamo and carries off the surplus from that village and the neighbourhood, joins
the mainstream. The banks are broken by ravines, and here and there is a small tract of
jungle. The Kadhu Nullah then continues eastword through pargana
Musafirkhana, and joins the Gomti at Chandipur. Although it assumes considerable
proportion after heavy rain, it is a shallow stream at other times, and there is never any
danger of flooding along its course. |
