Plate 6.6 Kana-Mundeswari (palaeo-channel of Mundeswari River) plays a vital role in the diversion of water
during monsoon season. Sometimes it becomes terrible
and causes flood and inundation in the adjoining region as
this palaeo-channel does not have the carrying capacity to
store excess water during the time of heavy precipitation
due to increasing siltation
