GANDAK

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 450 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GANDAK , a river of northern India. It rises in the Nepal. Himalayas, flows
south
 -west until it reaches British territory, where it forms the boundary between the United Provinces and
Bengal
  for a considerable portion of its course, and falls into the
Ganges
  opposite Patna. It is a snow-fed stream, and the surrounding country in the plains, lying at a
lower
  level than its banks, is endangered by its floods. The river is accordingly enclosed by protective embankments.
The LITTLE GANDAK rises in the Nepal hills, enters Gorakhpur
district
  about 8 m. west of the Gandak, and joins the Gogra just within the
Saran
 
district
  of
Bengal
 .
The Bums' (or old) GANDAK also rises in the Nepal hills, and follows a course roughly parallel to and
east
  of that of the Gandak, of which it represents an old channel, passing
Muzaffarpur
 , and joining the
Ganges
  nearly opposite to Moughjr. Its
principal
  tributary is the Baghmati, which rises in the hills N. of Kathmandu, flows in a southerly direction through Tirhut, and joins the Burhi Gandak close to Rusera.
