$\large {\bf{\red{The\: Krishna \:River\: Basin }}}$

The Krishna river is the second largest of the east-flowing rivers of Peninsular India. It originates from a spring near Mahabaleshwar in the Western Ghats. From its source to mouth, the Krishna river flows for a distance of about 1400 km in a general easterly direction. It finally flows into the Bay of Bengal.

The important tributaries joining the Krishna river are the Koyna, the Ghataprabha, the Malprabha, the Bhima, the Musi, the Tungabhadra and the Muneru. The Krishna river forms a large delta which appears to merge with the delta of the Godavari river. The Krishna river basin is shared by Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
