MOUNTAIN STREAMS AMID lush forest, several mountain streams flow through the district from Badran to Sita Haran. Of these, the famous are Mala Kol, Lear Kol, Ahij Kol, Laen, Zaen, Mean and Sona Mean. The Ahij, Laen and Sona Maen have the common fountainhead in Sukhnag. MalaKol is also known as the "deaf and dumb stream ". Legend has it that when a saint, Syed Taj-ud-Din, arrived in Khag, the Mala Kol silently followed him from Sukh Nag to Sikandarpora. The stream continues to flow with calm even when it is brimming. On the other hand, the Laen Kol is known to be making a roaring march with much less discharge of water. Local elders have interesting stories to say about the stream of the area. According to them the streams of Laen Zean are three sisters. The Ahij and Mala Kol embrace the Jhelum after marching through Khag and other villages of Budgam district. Besides, Shaliganga Nallah, Dood Ganga nullah, Ferozpora nullah and the flood-spill channel also flows through the district.
