History of the Rivers in the Gangetic Delta. 1750-1918

1919

About half-way along the Chirput a river (unnamed) goes southwards to the Subtarmukhi and the prbability is that the tides from this river meet those from the Habilla Creek near the western end : in fact this appeared to be the case on a recent inspection of the channel : the other branch of the flood makes north-east= wards through the eastern end of Chirput and Seebooa to the Thackeran and [...] Subtarnuddli to the Thaolcoran.—An alternate 'route to the Habilla Creek is via the eastern bank of the Subtarmukhi northwards after crossing the river by the marked crossing below the shoal opposite the eastern Mouth of the Hetalya Doanyah and thence to the head of the Habilla Creek by the Barcherra. [...] The spill in turn has also affected the range of the tides by raising the land and therefore forcing the tides to rise higher before they could spill and it was therefore the effect of both which caused the improvement but the second was the outcome of the first. [...] The effect of the spill in raising the land has the same result as embaning except that the process is very much slower it is clear then that as the land in the lakes rose and areas wore embanked further down the river the height of the tide rose rapidly. [...] The following statement gives the four extreme levels of the tides at different places on the Peali Bidyadhari and Matla rivers in September and October 1913 and also the maximum and minimum ranges of these months the tide of the 2nd September being the highest of the year.
