Rivers Of India->
In India there are many rivers but we have inquired about 4 rivers which are Krishna, Indus, Godavari and Ganga. We have inquired about these rivers as they are the major rivers in India. With the rivers of India we have also inquired about the dams, barrages, water bodies and the things which come across them.

River Godavari:-
The Godavari river is sometimes referred to as Dakshin Ganga (South Ganges river). However unlike the Ganges, the Godavari is not a perennial river. It is fed only through rainfall. While it is the second longest river in India after the river Ganges, the flow of the river swells and shrinks seasonally. During the Southwest monsoon (mid June to mid October) is when it gets 84% of its annual rainfall on an average.

The Krishna river flows a distance of 303 km in Maharashtra, 480 km in Karnataka and 517 km in Andhra and Telangana. In June and August the river flows rapidly causing much erosion.
