River
The Son river at 784 kilometres (487 miles) long, is one of the largest rivers of India. Its chief tributaries are the Rihand and the Koel. The Son has a steep gradient (35-55 cm per km) with quick run-off and ephemeral regimes, becoming a roaring river with the rain-waters in the catchment area but turning quickly into a fordable stream. The Son, being wide and shallow, leaves disconnected pools of water in the remaining part of the year. The channel of the Son is very wide (about 5km at Dehri) but the floodplain is narrow, only 3 to 5 km wide. In the past, the Son has been notorious for changing course, as is traceable from several old beds on its east. In modern times this tendency has been checked with the anicut at Dehri, and now more so with the Indrapuri Barrage.
There is a small Village -Makrain On the Bank Of Sone River.
