	Cauvery River
		Cauvery River - Part II From the Krishnarajasagar dam we drove 50 km or so to Srirangapatnam, near Mysore, before we found enough water in the river to paddle it, and even then it turned out to be scarcely passable.
		Fortunately we found a path through the forest to the river and an easy access point, but it still took over an hour to do this portage which was a little short of 1 km through bush and over grassland with little streams to ford.
		The river was narrowing further with each bifurcation down the delta and we felt quite at home on a little river no bigger than the Cam at Cambridge.
