KASHGAN RUD—
A river in Luristan—formed by what remains of the Alishtar rivers, after
they have supplied all the water needed for cultivation, joining at the
southern end of Alishtar the river Kaka Riza, the united waters then taking
the name of the Kashgan Rud. It is stated to rise in two branches on
the Kuh-i-Chehil—Na Balighan, some distance north of Khurramabad and
in the plain of Kuh Dasht. It runs through the difficult defile of Tang-i-
Gav Shumar, the general direction being south through the town of Madian
Rud to Pul-i-Dukhtar. Where crossed on the Khurramabad—Deh Bala
road 26 miles from the former place (elev. 3,350 feet), it flows south-east
through a broad valley, wooded and grassy. The banks are lined with grassy
plateaux, the bed broad, of sand and stones, and wooded with tamarisk.
The hills, well wooded and grassy, rise gently to the north-east, more abrupt
ly above the right bank of the stream. The river has a stream of whitish
water with a strong current : the banks are shelving of pebbles and sand ; the
bottom is of loose, round stones affording an insecure foothold. The width
of water is 40 yards with a maximum depth of 2 feet 6 inches. It is joined by
the united streams of Khurramabad, Karun and Tain or Tian. This latter
river, according to General Schindler, is formed by the junction of the Rizan
and Kip):an rivers in the Chimashk gorge, between Shah-in-shah and
Chimashk. Rabino gives the name of this river as Chulv-e-Hul, and says
that it is formed by two streams, one from the mahal of Rikan, running west
to east and the other running west of Kaleh Chimashk, the two uniting
at 100 paces from Kaleh Chimashk.
After receiving the tribute of these confluents, the Kashgan runs south
west through the plain of Jaidar and over a number of precipices form
ing a succession of magnificent cataracts as it struggles through the outer
rampart of the Zagros into the valley of the Karkheh, some thousand feet
below the hills about 1 mile above Pul-hGovmishan, after a course of some
106 miles. Just below the gorge, through which it enters the plain of
