Balu River runs mainly through the extensive swamps
of Beel Belai and those east of Dhaka, joining the shitalakshya
near demra.
It has a narrow connection through the Suti Nadi near kapasia
with the Shitalakshya, and also by way of the Tongi Khal with the turag;
there is also a link with the Shitalakshya near kaliganj.
Although it carries floodwater from the Shitalakshya and the Turag during
the flood
season, the Balu is of importance mainly for local drainage and access
by small boats.
