It is as stagnant as the lake itself.
The Teoughe and Tamunak'le, being essentially the same river, and receiving their supplies from the same source (the Embarrah or Varra), can never outrun each other.

If either could, or if the Teoughe could fill the lake--a thing which has never happened in modern times--then this little arm would prove a convenient escapement to prevent inundation.

If the lake ever becomes lower than the bed of the Zouga, a little of the water of the Tamunak'le might flow into it instead of down the Zouga; we should then have the phenomenon of a river flowing two ways; but this has never been observed to take place here, and it is doubtful if it ever can occur in this locality.

The Zouga is broad and deep when it leaves the Tamunak'le, but becomes gradually narrower as you descend about two hundred miles; there it flows into Kumadau, a small lake about three or four miles broad and twelve long.

The water, which higher up begins to flow in April, does not make much progress in filling this lake till the end of June.
