The Peninsular Rivers Video Lecture - Social Studies (SST) Class 9

hello friends welcome to exam tricks in
the last video we talked about Ganga
river system and in this video we will
be talking about the Peninsula river
system and I will be creating a playlist
for you so that you can view all the
videos related to drainage system now
let us have quick facts related to the
Peninsula river system Peninsula river
system are much older than the Himalayan
river system and most of the rivers
originate in western cards and Western
Guard's act as a main water divide in
the peninsular India which causes these
rivers to discharge their water into the
Bay of Bengal
most of the major rivers of the
peninsula like the Godavari the Krishna
and the Kaveri rise in the West cards
and flow eastward into the Bay of Bengal
however there are two except exceptions
Narmada and tepee which flow into the
Rift Valley and they drain into Arabian
Sea and in between the course many small
rivulets also join them while all these
rivers like godavari krishna cavalry
which drains their water into bay of
bengal they form delta before falling
into the sea why they form delta because
of the slope they become slow and they
shed most of the sediments before
falling into the bay of bengal while
Narmada and tepee which flow into the
rift valley they do not form delta they
form the statuaries these are two
important facts which will which you
have to keep in mind before moving
further I would suggest you to have a
close look at the map and understand all
the rivers originating from Western
Ghats and draining into the Bay of
Bengal and that these two rivers Narmada
and Abib is drained into the Arabian Sea
trick to remember the facts related to
geography is that always keep a map in
front of you whenever you are reading
regard anything regarding physical
features or something like that now
moving away ahead
we will be discussing all of the major
important rivers of the peninsula River
system and first among them is River
Mahanadi Mahara D river rises in the
highlands of Chhattisgarh mainly sabaha
district of raipur in Turkish guard and
it flows through Orissa into the Bay of
Bengal and in throughout its course it
drains parts of Madhya Pradesh
Chhattisgarh and Orissa now when
question related to rivers comes two
things are important first where it
arise where it originates and second the
which part which state does it drain
what are the basin a of these rivers by
applying simple common sense you can
remember the facts related to this river
if you know the origin of this river
which is checked is good then you can
simply apply the mind that if it
originates in Chhattisgarh it must be
draining multiple days and if it drains
into Bay of Bengal then it must cross
through the state which is along the Bay
of Bengal so you can find that geography
is not all about facts but also some
simple common sense the second most
important River is river Godavari
Godavari River is the largest peninsula
river it rises from the eastern slopes
of the western guards in then Nasik
district of maharashtra and it has the
largest drainage basin among the
peninsula river and that is why it is
also known as duction ganga because of
its length and the area it covers it
drains nearly 50% of the maharashtra
while it also crosses through Madhya
Pradesh Chhattisgarh Orissa and Andhra
Pradesh its three important and large
tributaries are prana heeta and the pain
ganga and the in Revati so important
facts related to river Godavari is that
it rises in Nasik district of
Maharashtra it rains large basin
of Maharashtra and crosses through
Maharashtra Madhya Pradesh Chhattisgarh
orison under presence it has three major
tributaries that is tran heeta ping
Ganga and ah in Revati another important
river is river krishna krishna river
rises from a spring near Mahabaleshwar
maharashtra in the western carts now you
can see that we have read about two
rivers originating in Maharashtra first
we read about Godavari and the second
river is river Krishna that arises in
Maharashtra Madhavi arises in Nasik
district of Maharashtra and Krishna
arises in Mahabaleshwar spring
Mahabaleshwar in the western guards it
has several measured tributaries kkona
thump Andhra and the bhima and what were
the major tributaries of Godavari
it was prana heeta pan Ganga and the in
Revati
now River Krishna drains parts of
Maharashtra Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh
again keep the map in front of you and
try to map the course of the rivers it
would make pure learning much more
simpler and easier let us move overhead
another important river is river Kaveri
kaveri river rises in the brahma gill
range of the western part this range
lies in karnataka flowing hist word it
falls into bay of bengal near kaveri
putnam which is in tamil nadu and
therefore it drains parts of Karnataka
Kerala and Tamil Nadu it drains three
states Karnataka Kerala and Tamil Nadu
and on its way to the sea the rivers
like the Coveney the Bhavani and the
amravati joins it these are the three
major important tributaries of the
Kaveri one important fact related to
Kaveri is that since the upper catchment
area receives rainfall during the
southwest monsoon season means summer
season and the lower part during the
northeast monsoon season which means
during winter the river carries water
throughout the year with comparatively
fluctuation than the other peninsula
rivers and about 3% of the Kaveri basin
Falls in Kerala 41% in Karnataka and 56%
in Tamil Nadu now let us come to the two
ways flowing rivers Narmada and poppy
the Nevada originates on the western
flank of the Amur Kentucky a tube at a
height of about 1050 seven meter and
flowing in a rift valley between the
Satpura in the south and the vineyard
range in the north it forms a very
beautiful gorgeous in the marble rocks
and do other waterfalls near Jabalpur
and it flows through a rift valley as we
have talked earlier and so that's our
our dam is also built on this river
the taffy river is another important
westward flowing river it originates
from will tie in the bethel district of
madhya pradesh and nearly 79 percent of
its basin
lies in maharashtra 15 percent in mother
presence and the remaining six percent
in Gujarat it also flows in a Rift
Valley parallel to the Narmada but it is
smaller in length
another important river system river is
loonie which is a largest river system
of Rajasthan Vista for a valley it
originates near Pushkin in two branches
the Saraswathi and the Sabarmati with
joins with each other at go vineyard and
from here the rivers come out of Raleigh
and is known as loonie it flows towards
the west Illawarra and then takes the
southwest direction to join the run of
Kutch the entire river system is
ephemeral this concludes our Peninsula
River system in the next video I will be
concluding the series the videos on the
drainage system with
concluding with the Brahmaputra River
system and I will be talking about the
differences between the Himalayan river
system and the vanilla
system as well as some important dams
and water disputes between the states I
hope you like this video thanks for
watching have a nice day
