The river marked on the given map is the River Krishna, which rises near Mahabaleshwar. The river runs about 1400 kilometres. It eventually empties into the Bay of Bengal. Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh are the Indian states through which this river flows. By density, it is the fourth-largest river. The river is also referred to as "Krishnaveni." Krishna has several major tributaries, including Tungabhadra, Koyna, Ghatprabha, Musi, and Bhima. The Koyna hydropower and the Jurala hydroelectric project are hydroelectric projects built on these rivers. The largest dams built on the river are Almatti Dam, Srisailam Dam, Nagarjuna Sagar Dam, and Prakasham Barrage. The Krishna River basin has abundant mineral reserves and great potential for industrial development.
