CUTCH, RUNN OF, or RANN OF KACH

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 671 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CRE-DAH
CUTCH, RUNN OF, or RANN OF KACH , a
salt
  morass on the western
coast
  of India in the native state of
Cutch
 . From May to October it is flooded with
salt
  water and communicates, at its greatest extent, with the Gulf of
Cutch
  on the west and the Gulf of
Cambay
  on the
east
 , these two gulfs being united during the monsoon. It varies in breadth from five to eighty miles across, and during the rains is nearly impassable for horsemen. The
total
  area of this immense morass is estimated at about 8000 sq. m., without including any portion of the Gulf of Cutch, which is in parts so shallow as to resemble a marshy fen rather than an arm of the sea. The Runn is said to be formed by the overflow of the rivers Pharan, Luni,
Banas
  and others, during the monsoon; but in December it is quite dry, and in most places hard, but in some moist and muddy. The soil is impregnated
with salt, and the Runn is an important source for the
supply
  of salt. The present
condition
  of the Runn is probably the result of some natural convulsion, but the exact method of its formation is disputed. The wild ass is very common on the borders of this lake, being seen in herds of 6o or 70 together.
