Question

Iast flowing river and west flowing rivers in india

Answer 1



India is a geographical paradise with a multitude of rivers flowing across the country. While most of the rivers in the country are east flowing in nature, i.e. they join the Bay Of Bengal, there are a few rivers that defy the odds and are west flowing! These west flowing rivers ultimately end up in the Arabian Sea. Unlike eastern flowing rivers, the western flowing rivers don’t create deltas on the path they follow on their way to the ocean.This can be attributed to the fact that the Western flowing rivers pass through many gorges, V-shaped valleys and are swifter than Eastern flowing rivers.

Here is a list of West flowing rivers that one must know:



Narmada River
Considered as a geographical barrier between North and South India, Narmada river is the third largest river in India and the largest western flowing river among all. It originates from Narmada Kund at Amarkantak, situated in the Maikal Range, and is also known as the Lifeline of Madhya Pradesh. Narmada River covers about 1300 km after which it drains through the Gulf Of Cambay into the Arabian Sea!
