Which river in the Southern Peninsula has the second largest river basin in India?
Godavari
The correct answer is Godavari.
The Godavari River, located in the Southern Peninsula of India, boasts the second-largest river basin in the country. While the Ganga River system holds the largest basin, the Godavari's extensive network of tributaries and vast drainage area contribute significantly to its ranking as the second largest. Its basin covers a substantial portion of central and southern India.
The other options are incorrect:
- Krishna River: While a significant river in the Southern Peninsula, its basin is smaller than the Godavari's.
- Cauvery River: The Cauvery River basin is smaller than both the Godavari and Krishna river basins.
- Mahanadi River: The Mahanadi River is located primarily in eastern India and not part of the Southern Peninsula, its basin is also smaller than Godavari's.
