A karst spring yielding 800 lps has been reported from somewhere near Kumargaon or Komargaon (note 1), a village about 5 km west of Jagdalpur (N19°04': E82°02') on the road to Chitrakot (note 2). The spring, rising from Kanger Limestone (Indravati Series, Purana Group), is located in a low topographic area and rises from about half a dozen orifices in a bowl-shaped depression measuring 60 m in diameter and 3 to 5 m in depth (ADYALKAR & RADHAKRISHNA (1972: 136; plate 19 figure 9).
