Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Sai

River of the United Provinces, rising in Hardol District be- tween the Gumti and the Ganges (27 46' N., 80 9' E.). It flows in a tortuous south-easterly direction through the Oudh Districts of Unao, Rae Bareli, and Partabgarh, and enters the Province of Agra in Jaunpur District, falling into the Gumti ten miles below Jaunpur city after a course of over 350 miles. In the rams small boats can pass up as high as Rae Barell. The diainage falling into the Sai is chiefly from the north, and its bed is usually too deep to afford irrigation.
