Tapti

Tapti, a river of Bombay, rises in the Betul district of the Central Provinces, and flows 450 miles west through the Sâtpura uplands and the districts of Candeish and Surat to the Gulf of Cambay, 17 miles below the town of Surat. Even small vessels of 40 to 50 tons burden cannot ascend higher than Surat. The port of Suwali, at the mouth, is now deserted, and the lower channels of the river are being silted up.
