Answer 1

-Mahanadi RiverThe Mahanadi basin extends over states of Chhattisgarh and Odisha and comparatively smaller portions of Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, draining an area of 1.4 lakh Sq.km.It is bounded by the Central India hills on the north, by the Eastern Ghats on the south and east and by the Maikala range to the west.The Mahanadi (“Great River”) follows a total course of 560 miles (900 km).It has its source in the northern foothills of Dandakaranya in Raipur District of Chhattisgarh at an elevation of 442 m.The Mahanadi is one of the major rivers of the peninsular rivers, in water potential and flood-producing capacity, it ranks second to the Godavari.Other small streams between the Mahanadi and the Rushikulya draining directly into the Chilka Lake also forms the part of the basin.The major part of the basin is covered with agricultural land accounting for 54.27% of the total area.It is one of the most-active silt-depositing streams in the Indian subcontinent.After receiving the Seonath River, it turns east and enters Odisha state.

-The Godavari is the largest river system of Peninsular India and is revered as Dakshina Ganga.The Godavari basin extends over states of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha in addition to smaller parts in Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Union territory of Puducherry (Yanam) having a total area of ~ 3 lakh Sq.km.The basin is bounded by Satmala hills, the Ajanta range and the Mahadeo hills on the north, by the Eastern Ghats on the south and the east and by the Western Ghats on the west.The Godavari River rises from Trimbakeshwar in the Nashik district of Maharashtra about 80 km from the Arabian Sea at an elevation of 1,067 m.The total length of Godavari from its origin to outfall into the Bay of Bengal is 1,465 km.

-Krishna RiverThe Krishna is the second largest east flowing river of the Peninsula.The Krishna Basin extends over Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka having a total area of ~2.6 lakh Sq.km.It is bounded by Balaghat range on the north, by the Eastern Ghats on the south and the east and by the Western Ghats on the west.The Krishna River rises from the Western Ghats near Jor village of Satara district of Maharashtra at an altitude of 1,337 m just north of Mahabaleshwar.The total length of river from origin to its outfall into the Bay of Bengal is 1,400 km.The major part of basin is covered with agricultural land accounting to 75.86% of the total area.The Krishna forms a large delta with a shoreline of about 120 km. The Krishna delta appears to merge with that formed by the Godavari and extends about 35 km into the sea.

-Kaveri River, Kaveri also spelled Cauvery, sacred river of southern India. It rises on Brahmagiri Hill of the Western Ghats in southwestern Karnataka state, flows in a southeasterly direction for 475 miles (765 km) through the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, and descends the Eastern Ghats in a series of great falls.Before emptying into the Bay of Bengal south of Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, the river breaks into a large number of distributaries forming a wide delta called the “garden of southern India.” Known to devout Hindus as Dakshina Ganga (“Ganges of the South”), the Kaveri River is celebrated for its scenery and sanctity in Tamil literature, and its entire course is considered holy ground. The river is also important for its irrigation canal projects.
