The Kukadi River is one of the tributaries of the Ghod. The Ghor River is the tributary of Bhima River. The soil on the upper and lower courses of the river is abundant in paleontological sediments. The river dates back to ancient times, which is proved by the gravel bed. The river Ghod flows in the state of Maharashtra. Inamgaon is one of the largest and most exciting chalcolithic sites in India, which is located on the banks of this river. Inamgaon, a post-Harappan agrarian village located along the Ghod, has been studied for its archaeological finds.[4]
The river is dammed by the Ghod Dam.
The Ghod is a major river used by the nearby inhabitants primarily for irrigation purposes.
Course
The River Ghod in Maharashtra flows from the northern side of the Bhimashankar Hills of the Western Ghats, originating at about 1090 meters above sea level. The river is dammed at several places, including the Ghod Dam:
Height of the dam – above lowest foundation is Шаблон:Convert
Storage capacity: Шаблон:Convert, and the Chinchani Dam which reservoir has a capacity of 5.47 TMC. Ghod travels further and many smaller rivers join it. After it is joined by the Kukadi River at Шаблон:Coord it is locally known as the Kukadi River until the name changes back to Ghod at the dam at Шаблон:Coord.[5] The other main tributaries of the river are: the Mula and Mutha rivers. The Mula rises in Mulshi taluka, and the Mutha in Velhe. The Ghot's tributary Meena rises in the Sahyadri Ghats. The Ghod itself is a tributary of the Bhima River, with which it merges at Sangvi Dumala, below Kashti.
