Rivers
The entire
region is at low altitude and slopes from south to north. All its important
rivers flow in that direction. The general slope of
the country is towards the northeast, as indicated by the course of the rivers
which traverse or bound the territory, and finally discharge themselves into
the Yamuna River.
The principal rivers are the Sindh, Betwa, Ken, Bagahin, Tons, Pahuj, Dhasan and Chambal. The Kali Sindh,
rising in Malwa, marks the western
frontier of Bundelkhand. Parallel to this river, but further east, is the
course of the Betwa. Still farther to the east flows the Ken, followed in
succession by the Bagahin and Tons. The Yamuna and the Ken are the only two navigable
rivers. Notwithstanding the large number of streams, the depression of their
channels and height of their banks render them for the most part unsuitable for
the purposes of irrigation, which is conducted by means of ponds and tanks.
These artificial lakes are usually formed by throwing embankments across the
lower extremities of valleys, and thus arresting and impounding the waters
flowing through them.
