Answer:
•Being the largest peninsular river, Godavari is especially significant for agriculture in the area.
•The Godavari and Krishna deltas are very close to each other. Together, they support almost 1 crore people in an area of 12,700 sq km.
•The Godavari is also an important inland waterway, and is considered a National Waterway.
In 2016, the Godavari flooded not once, but twice – in June and July. Flooding occurred in all three states that the river passes through. In Andhra alone, floods forced 543,000 people from their homes. Rewind two months and what do you have? The Godavari going dry at its very source in Nashik. During the Kumbh Mela at Nashik, ground water had to be pumped into the river for devotees to take a dip.
Fast-forward one year to the summer of 2017, and Andhra Pradesh and Telangana were almost in drought as both Krishna and Godavari were at low levels. Such alternating flood and drought situations are present in almost all of India’s major rivers.
