Every river, canal and drain near a plot, nearest first
Drop a pin on the land and get every named river, canal, stream, odai and drain around it, nearest first with the distance in metres, and the tanks, lakes and ponds the government water bodies register maps nearby. Look 500 m, 1 km, 2 km or 5 km out.

- Distances measured to the nearest point of each waterway, not to a label
- The government water body register searched beside the map lines, so a tank the map omits still shows
- The parcel located first, so the distances are from the land, not the pin

What we need
One thing at a time. Fill it in and press Run.
The answer
From the register, with its date and source.
Nothing run yet. The answer appears here with everything this mini adds:
- Distances measured to the nearest point of each waterway, not to a label
- The government water body register searched beside the map lines, so a tank the map omits still shows
- The parcel located first, so the distances are from the land, not the pin
Water near land, briefly
- How far
- 500 m to 5 km
Choose the radius. Two kilometres is the default, enough to catch the channel a street floods from.
- Distances
- To the nearest point
Each waterway is measured to its closest point to the pin, not to a label on the map, and a canal drawn in many pieces is listed once.
- Two sources
- Lines and polygons
Waterway lines from the open map, and tank, lake and pond outlines from the government water bodies register, so a tank one misses the other may hold.
How to find the water bodies near a plot
- 1
Place the pin
Tap the plot on the map, paste a Google Maps link to it, or use your location while you stand there.
- 2
Pick the radius
Keep 2 km, or narrow it to 500 m for the channels right beside the land.
- 3
Read nearest first
A canal or drain within a few tens of metres deserves a look at the flood layer and the setback rules.
When it helps with land
Flood sense
A plot a short walk from a canal or an eri floods differently from one on high ground. The list shows what the water has to cross to reach it.
Setbacks
Building rules keep a distance from channels and tanks. Knowing the nearest one tells you whether to ask.
Site visits
Walk to the nearest channel named in the list. A dry odai in summer is still a water course in the monsoon.
Distance to water is not a verdict. Whether the plot sits in a flood extent, a water body or its buffer is a zone check, and whether the land itself is recorded as a water course is in the revenue records.
Questions people ask
How do I find water bodies near my plot?
Drop a pin on the plot above, choose how far to look and press Run. You get the rivers, canals, streams, odais and drains nearest first with their distance, and the tanks and lakes the water bodies register maps nearby.
Why do some drains have no name?
The map records the line but nobody has named it. It is still a drain, and its distance is real.
Is a waterway nearby a problem?
Not by itself. It matters for flooding, for the distance a building must keep from a channel, and for whether the land itself is a water course. The zone check and Verify My Land carry those checks.
Why is a canal listed with several segments?
The map draws a long canal as many pieces. The answer lists it once, at its nearest point, and says how many pieces fall in the radius.
A tank I know is missing.
Small tanks and channels are often absent from the water bodies register. The waterway lines beside it are the fuller picture, and the zone check reads the water body layer at the plot itself.
What does it cost?
The price is shown on the Run button. The water bodies register rides inside the same price, and nothing is charged when no waterway is found.
