Tsoont Kol

Tsoont Kol (Kashmiri: /t͡sũ:ʈʰ kɔl/, literally 'Apple Stream') is a navigational canal running through the Srinagar city of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, that also helps to regulate the water level in the Dal lake.

It has a lock gate known as Dal Gate to regulate the water level in the Dal lake which is located at a slightly higher elevation.

The canal also has an island just after the Dal Gate, known as Chinar Bagh.

[1] The canal has existed since ancient times when it bore the name "Mahasarit".

Its main purpose has always been to take the surplus waters of the Dal lake into the Jhelum.
