 Afghanistan - Rivers
The course of the river is more or less south-west from its source till in Seistan it approaches meridian 62°, when it turns nearly north, and so flows on for 70 or 80 miles, till it falls into the lake of Seistan by various mouths.
The high road from Kabul to Kandahar passes this way (another reason for supposing the Tarnak to be Arachotus), and the people live off the road to eschew the onerous duties of hospitality.
The Lora is the most southerly river of Afghanistan, and may be regarded as belonging to the Helmand basin, though it is not known that its waters ever reach that river.

 paddlers.info - The Falls of Lora
The Falls of Lora are a tidal race with three splendid waves which run on an outgoing tide under Connel Bridge on Loch Etive, six miles North East of Oban on the West Coast of Scotland.
The Falls are generated when the tide level in the Firth of Lorn drops below the level of the water in Loch Etive, the seawater in Loch Etive pours out through the narrows which are themselves spanned by the spectacular and historic Connel Bridge.
As the Falls are tidal they are not always running, but when they are they provide excitement for kayakers and divers as well as a stunning sight for tourists and photographers.
