major rivers which divides water of india
The Western Ghats act as water divide. It separate east flowing rivers such as Godavari, Krishna, Mahanadi, Cauvery, Vaigai, Pennar which finds its way to Bay of Bengal from the west flowing rivers such as Periyar, Bharathappuzha, Pamba, Netravati, Sharavathi, Mandovi and Zuari which drains into the Arabian sea. The side of the western ghat which faces the Arabian sea has a steep slope while the other side has a gentle slope. This is the reason that the west flowing rivers lead to the formation of estuaries and water falls and east flowing rivers forms delta. Major waterfalls include Dudhsagar, Unchalli, Sathodi, Magod, Hogenakkal, Jog, Kunchikal, Shivanasamudra, Meenmutty Falls, Athirappilly Falls. Talakaveri. And the major tributaries of East flowing rivers include Kali, Bhadra, Bhavani, Bhima, Malaprabha, Ghataprabha, Hemavathi and Kabini.
The Satpura range is also a water divide. South of Narmada rift valley lies Satpura and Mahadev hills and both determine the direction of the flow of the rivers. Narmada River originates from north-eastern end of Satpura and runs in the depression between the Satpura and Vindhya ranges, draining the northern slope of the Satpura range, running west towards the Arabian Sea. The Tapti River originates in the eastern-central part of Satpura, crossing the range in the center and running west at the range's southern slopes before meeting the Arabian Sea at Surat, draining the central and southern slopes of the range. The Godavari River and its tributaries drain the Deccan plateau, which lies south of the range, and the Mahanadi River drains the easternmost portion of the range. The Godavari and Mahanadi rivers flow into the Bay of Bengal.
