In that area, the river basin is about one mile wide and 7 miles at the point where it meets the Irrawaddy River. It is about 8 miles wide. The bottom of Mann Creek is thick gravel. The water flows continuously throughout the year.However, in summer, the water is very low. During the summer, boats cannot travel along Mann Creek. In the rainy season, it is possible to travel up to Ima. Mann River has been used mainly for supplying water for agriculture since the dam. The distance from the dam to the confluence of the Irrawaddy River is 20 miles. The hill where Set Taw Yar Pagoda is located in Minbu District is located on the bank of Min River.
