The only other rivers of importance are those draining the eastern half of the Ramtek tahsil, the Bawanthari, Sur and Gaotala-Sand. The Bawanthari only passes through the extreme north-east of the District, but it drains the country to the north of Chorbaoli and east of the seoni road. The Sur, rising in the hills west of the Seoni road, follows a most erratic course, and after cutting its way through  a narrow gorge in the Ramtek range, flows eastward past Aroli and Kodamendhi into Bhandara, where it joins the Wainganga. The Sur is remarkable for the shallowness of its bed, the level character of the land immediately on its margin, and the fertile properties of this lad in producing. Sugarcane and garden crops. The Gaotala-Sand issue from the Ramtek tank and joins the Kanhan at the south-east of the Ramtek tahsil near the hill of Sitapahar.

 Most of the large rivers, where they flow through plain country, are characterized by high banks and rapid streams when in flood, but in the hot weather they are mere rivulets, with here and there deep pools where the bee is rocky and hollows among the rocks have been formed by the action of the stream. The wide wastes of sand which are exposed to the son’s rays during the hot weather months seem in the case of the larger rivers to neutralize the cooling effect of the small streaks of water in the centre of the bed, and the influence on the country around of these rivers, though of course very great, is not directly discernible except in the rugged ravines with short scrub which mark their banks. But their tributaries, the numerous shallow streams with a fringe of vegetation on either side, or winding amidst sindi bans or woods of date palm, exercise a more patently beneficial effect on the surrounding lands, which are generally fertile and are kept most all the year round. Such streams are however only to be found in the most level plains, or in deep valleys among the hills. Over most of the great wheat tract of Umrer, where the more marked undulations of the country cause the water to be carried rapidly away, is deep water-course absolutely dry during half the year, with bare banks devoid of all vegetation. These become small torrents after each heavy fall of rain, and the fields in their neighborhood are scoured out of all recognition, despoiled of their soils, and speedily rendered unfit for cultivation.
