Krishna River

The Krishna River is one of the major rivers in India, flowing over 1,300 kilometers (about 800 miles) across the Deccan Plateau. Originating in the Western Ghats in Maharashtra, it travels through Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh before emptying into the Bay of Bengal. The river is vital for agriculture, providing water for irrigation to millions of people. It also supports various ecosystems and is culturally significant, with many temples and historical sites along its banks. The Krishna River Basin is crucial for hydropower generation and has several dams, contributing to the region's economy and energy supply.
