Gumti

Gumti, a river of India, rises in the North-western Provinces, in a small lake in 28° 37' N. lat. and 80° 7' E. long., and, after a sinuous but generally south-easterly course of nearly 500 miles, enters the Ganges 56 miles below Jaunpur. It is navigable by boats of 17 tons for over 400 miles; at Lucknow it is spanned by five bridges, and at Jaunpur by a bridge of sixteen arches.—There is also a Gumti River in Bengal, which joins the Meghna after a course, inclusive of windings, of 66 miles.
