Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Hemavati

(also called Yenne-hole). — A river of Mysore and one of the chief tributaries of the Cauverv. It rises in the Western Ghats in the south-west of Kadur District, and runs south-east through the Manjurabad taluk to the Coorg frontier, where, joined by some streams from the west, it turns east. Receiving the Yagachi from the north, it then winds round Hole Narsipur, and runs south to the (!auvery near Predatory, after a course of over 160 miles. It has ten dams, from which about 145 miles of channels are drawn off, irrigating nearly 10,000 acres. The largest channels are the Srlramadevar north channel, 47 miles long, in Hassan District, and the Mandigere, 27 miles long, in Mysore District.
