In the thirty miles of its course, to the east of Kolhapur the Panchganga River receives only one considerable stream the Hatkalangale or Kabnur which, rising from the Alta hills and passing Hatkalangale and Korochi joins the Panchganga near Kabnur about fifteen miles below Kolhapur.
From Shiroli to its junction with the Krishna near Narsobawadi, it has an extensive Alaviya floor bordered by the large worn out stumps of the Alta portion of the Panhala in the north and the Hupari part of the Phonda Sangaon range in the south.
The bed of the river is shallow and its sloping banks yield rich crops during the cold weather.
In October, towards the close of the south-west rains, a series of fair-weather earthen dams are built across the river beds and the water is raised by lifts worked by bullocks.
The Kasari River stream is wide and receives its source waters from a fairly large triangular area lying between watersheds of the Vishalgad range in the north and the Waghajai in the south.
North-east of Sangrul it has a sharp bend eastwards after which it meets the united Tulsi and Bhogavati river near Bahireshwar about eight miles south-west of Kolhapur.
The source waters of the Bhogwati river have now been impounded to form the Radhanagari Dam for the purposes of both irrigation and hydro-electricity.
Unlike the northern tributary streams of the Panchganga river the Bhogwati has a wide alluvial floor particularly below Fejivade.
About four miles north-west of the Kolhapur city, the Bhogavati effects with the Kasari its junction at Prayag Sangam, where the Panchganga River starts.
Not much efforts were taken by the local government bodies to control the growth of it; in monsoon, the water level rises and it is washed out and seen nowhere until November; in December.
