प्रश्न
Write an account on river Cauvery.
उत्तर १
The main river of Tamil Nadu is Cauvery which originates at Talacauvery in the Brahmragiri hills of Kodagu (Coorg) district of Karnataka in the Western Ghats.
About 416 km of its course falls in Tamil Nadu. It serves as the boundary between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu for a distance of 64 km. A tributary called Bhavani joins Cauvery on the right bank about 45 km from the Mettur Reservoir.
Thereafter, it takes an easterly course to enter into the plains of Tamil Nadu. Cauvery and its distributaries in its lower course drain the districts of Nagapattinam, Thanjavur, Thivarur and Thiruchirapalli. The Cauvery, kollidam, and the vellar jointly drain the central part of the Tamil. Nadu. The head of the Cauvery delta is near the islands of Srirangam. Kollidam branches off from Cauvery at Grand Anaicut, also called as kallanai was built across the river Cauvery.
After kallanai, the river breaks into a large number of distributaries and forms a network all over the delta. The network of tributaries within the delta of Cauvery on the coast is called as the ‘Garden of Southern India’. It merges into the Bay of Bengal to the south of Cuddalore. Cauvery along with its tributaries Bhavani, Noyyal, Mayar, and Amaravathi is the most important source of canal irrigation.
