nature of general surface configuration, relief and drainage pattern, distribution of different types of soil, climatic condition, the formation of geology and forest tracts, the district Koch Bihar falls under <a href="/wiki/Barind_Tract" title="Barind Tract">Barind Tract</a>. The physiology of this area consists of alluvial soil, generally blackish brown in colour and composed of sand, clay and silt. The soils are loose and sandy throughout the district.” The Himalayan formations in the north end beyond the boundaries of this district. There are no hills/ mountains here. It has a large network of rivers flowing from north-west to south and south-east. The <a href="/wiki/Teesta_River" title="Teesta River">Teesta</a> flows through Mekhliganj CD block before entering <a href="/wiki/Bangladesh" title="Bangladesh">Bangladesh</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Jaldhaka_River" title="Jaldhaka River">Jaldhaka</a> and its connected river-streams form a large catchment area in the district. It virtually divides the district into two unequal parts and meets the Brahmaputra in Bangladesh. The Himalayan rivers flowing through Cooch Behar district change courses from time to time. In 1876, <a href="/wiki/W.W._Hunter" class="mw-redirect" title="W.W. Hunter">W.W. Hunter</a> mentioned the <a href="/wiki/Dharla_River" title="Dharla River">Dharla</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Torsha_River" class="mw-redirect" title="Torsha River">Torsha</a> as the same stream with two names.
