 The Godavari is the second longest river in India. It starts in Maharashtra and flows east for 1,465 kilometres (910 mi) emptying into Bay of Bengal draining theIndian states Maharashtra (48.6%), Telangana( 18.8%), Andhra Pradesh (4.5%), Chhattisgarh (10.9%), Madhya Pradesh(10.0%), Odisha (5.7%) and Karnataka (1.4%) through its extensive network of tributaries. Measuring up to 312,812 km2(120,777 sq mi), it forms one of the largest river basins in the Indian subcontinent, , the Godavari river is the largest in peninsular India and had been dubbed as the 'Dakshina Ganga'
The river has been revered in Hindu scriptures since many millennia and continues to harbor and nourish rich cultural heritages. However, in the past few decades, the river has been abused with relentless construction of barrages and dams. The river delta, supporting 729 persons/km2 - nearly twice the density average for the nation, has been categorized as having substantial risk to greater risk of flooding with rising sea levels
