Course
The Chhota Tawa river is formed by the confluence of the three streams of Abna, Sukta and Bham near Bhamgarh, and joins after a course of 32 miles (51.5 Km.), flowing south to north through the Harsud Tahsil. It is called the Chhota Tawa to distinguish it from the more important river, Tawa in Betul and Hoshangabad Districts. Tawa signifies the flat bed of the river. The tributaries of the river are the Agni, the Piprar, the Gangapat and the Kala Machak on the right bank and Khurkhuri and another Piprar on the left bank. It is crossed by the Central Railway near Bilod. [1]
History
Recent explorations in the beds of the Agni, Kundala, Machikunda, Chhota Tawa, Samdeni, Ruprel and Ghorapachhar, all tributaries of the Narmada, have revealed traces of the Palaeolithic men in East Nimar District.[2] Palaeolithic tools have been discovered at Bijalpur, Barakund, Mahalkheri, Matupur and other places in Harsud tahsil.[3]
