Figure 3-6. The downstream of the outfall (the Kultigong river) at high tide – sluice gates closed but<br />

water has accumulated in the drainage channel (tidal lockage)<br />

The following images depict some of the situations. For example, Figure 3-7 shows the outfall<br />

of the SWF (combined with DWF) channel at Ghushighata – showing the sluice vents at the<br />

bottom (below the closed shutters). The SWF is able to discharge to the river as the level of the<br />

Kultigong at this time is at a low level, unaffected by tide. Similar outfalls exist for the Kestopur<br />

canal as well as for the Bagjola canals. Of course, a high capacity pumping station has been<br />

installed at the Bagjola end to pump out the water at the time of tidal lockage.<br />
