A river flowing down the Gav-rud valley, about 30 miles south-south
east of Smneh and fed by numerous springs and streams from the adjacent
hills opposite Kaleh : its bed about here is 200 yards broad from bank to
bank, and m the spring it is quite impassable. In summer it is fordable
and has a stream abo it 20 to 30 feet broad. The Valley is fairly well
populated with villages, and corn and other crops are grown. As
the stream runs further west its width narrows considerably, and as
it runs through the hill to join the Shirwan river its breadth decreases to
about 20 to 30 yards from bank to bank. While its bed gets more stony
it contains numerous runs and pools, but the fishing is very poor, owing
to the practice of the inhabitants of periodically poisoning the water for
the sake of the fish. It is a picturesque stream, its banks in many places
being fringed by willow and other bushes. A great deal of the water is
led off for the purpose of irrigation during the summer. There is a route
along its bank from Sinneh to Kaleh. Cows are found grazing on its banks
in the valley during the summer months. Its waters are quite drinkable,
being of a pale greenish tint. Partridges are seen in numbers on its banks
morning and evening.

The bridge was put into good repair in 1888.
