Partabgarh - A Gazetteer Being Volume XLVII of the District Gazetteers of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh

1920

Originally the flood water of the Ganges used to rush in through this chanel filling the lake to a depth of 15 or 20 feet : when the floods subsided much of the water was imprisoned as the outlet was higher than the bed of the lake. [...] The ground on either side of this line is light especially on the inside of the bends and more akin to the soil along the river banks than to the clay which surrounds many of the isolated jhils. [...] About 18 miles to the east of the Naiya the Sai is joined by the Chamraura a moderately-shallow stream whichrites in the Sultanpur district and flows through the north-west 'corner of Patti and the upper central portion of the Partabgarh pargana to join the Sai near Belaghat. [...] Another source of serious danger lies in the gradual extension of the ravines along the Sai and on the high bank of the Ganges and it is conceivable that in the course of time this cause may seriously.affect the prosperity of individual villages. [...] In the rivers the season is much the same save that at the begining of the rains when the river is in flood for the first time in the year larger quantities of fish are often caught in one week than have been taken during the course of several weeks prviously.
