Krishna Basin mainly extends over which of the following groups of states?
Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh
The Krishna River originates at Mahabaleshwar in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra and flows eastward across the Deccan Plateau before draining into the Bay of Bengal near Machilipatnam in Andhra Pradesh.
Its basin covers three states: Maharashtra (upper reaches, source), Karnataka (middle reaches, with major tributaries like the Tungabhadra), and Andhra Pradesh (lower reaches and delta).
Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and Gujarat do not fall within the Krishna Basin — they lie in the catchments of the Narmada, Mahanadi, Godavari, or other river systems.
Hence, the Krishna Basin mainly extends over Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
