CHA-CHA
CHAH-I DABIA—
Situated in Kirman, a few miles west of the village of Daviran.
It consists of a circular hole with a diameter of 30 yards. Some 30
feet below this is an oval fissure, 30 feet by 10 feet, which is inaccessible,
but stones thrown in reach water in 5 seconds, and as camels, sheep, etc.,
are frequently lost and swept away, the volume must be considerable.
As the Chah-i-Daria is situated at a considerable elevation above the
plain, it would probable be possible to utilize its waters, which would con-
f . r great benefits on the district.—(Airman Political Diary, 1904.)
