Streams and Rivers
Swabi is home to two great rivers, the Indus and the Kabul. There are also several smaller streams. Maini has a unique stream; the water emerges from the centre of the village. It is used for irrigation. This stream is called china in the local language, meaning "spring". The villages of Kotha, Topi and Maini are collectively called Utman. They all have natural springs called china in Maini, chino in Kotha and bayin in Topi.

Famous quotes containing the words streams and/or rivers:
“It is from quiet places like this all over the world that the forces accumulate which presently will overbear any attempt to accomplish evil on a large scale. Like the rivulets gathering into the river, and the river into the seas, there come from communities like this streams that fertilize the consciences of men, and it is the conscience of the world that we are trying to place upon the throne which others would usurp.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“We are asking the nations of Europe between whom rivers of blood have flowed to forget the feuds of a thousand years.”
—Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
