The Kistna canals are also navigable and the greater part of the trade of the deltaic portions of the two districts is carried on by boats. [...] The delta begins at the head of the Srirangam Island where the river divides into two the right arni called the Cauvery carrying irrigation supplies and the left arm the Coleroon being the flood carrier. [...] The water flows into the Surulaiyar a tributary of the Vaigai and after irrigating about 12 700 acres in the Surnlaiyar valley is again picked up at the Peranai regulator across the Vaigai about 80 miles downstream of the tunnel and diverted into the Periyar main canal about 35 miles long. [...] Stretching away on both sides of the river beyond Bezwada lie the two sections of the delta the Eastern delta lying on the left side and the Western delta lying on the right. [...] The Kistna-Ellore canal in the Eastern delta connects the GodavarEllore canal in the north and the Commamur canal joins the Buckingham canal in the south.
