Question

describe about peninsular rivers of India in short

Answer 1

The peninsular rivers of India are much older than the Himalayan rivers. They are non-perennial. Most of the major rivers of the peninsula such as the Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna and the Cauvery flow eastwards and drain into the Bay of Bengal. These rivers make deltas at their mouths. But the west flowing rivers of Narmada and Tapi as well as those originating from the Western Ghats and falling in the Arabian Sea form estuaries in place of deltas. These rivers have small basins and catchment areas.
