GANDIEL RIVER

     The channel of this river flows west to east across the Horned Basin and into the Gandiel Valley where it joins with the larger Khala River.  The Gandiel has a North and South Fork that each come down from the Wyvern Hills to form the main river on the flatlands, and flooding is common for both forks and the main river itself while it flows across the plains.  This flooding occurs annually during the wet season, and it helps to both prevent settlement along the river and to make the surrounding countryside fertile year round.  Once the flow of the river enters the Gandiel Valley it becomes much more predictable and its channel runs deeper which helps to prevent flooding.  This river is navigable only below the point where it meets with the Hoof River.
