Q61
The hydro-electric tracking dynamic called 'Krishnarajasagar Dam' (KRS Dam) anchors a vital irrigation reservoir constructed along the upper path of which east-flowing peninsular river?
Krishna
Cauvery
Godavari
Pennar
Explanation
The Krishnarajasagar Dam is constructed across the Cauvery River in Mandya district, Karnataka, functioning as a structural life-line for water resources in the southern plains.

Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh
Odisha and Andhra Pradesh
Karnataka and Goa
Tamil Nadu and Kerala
Explanation
The VWDT addresses water allocation and sharing friction regarding the Vansadhara River between the neighboring eastern states of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.
Q63
Which of the following east-flowing rivers originates from the Nagri Pikla peak of the Eastern Ghats in Odisha and forms a prominent estuary near Dhamra?
Subarnarekha
Baitarani
Vamsadhara

Explanation
The Baitarani River originates from the Gonasika/Nagri hills of Keonjhar district in Odisha and later joins the Brahmani River to form a combined estuarine delta before emptying into the Bay of Bengal at Dhamra.
Q64
The hydro-electric engineering infrastructure called 'Nizamsagar Dam' is an architectural storage facility constructed on the path of which right-bank tributary of the Godavari?
Indravati
Manjira
Sabari
Pranhita
Explanation
The Nizamsagar Dam is constructed across the Manjira River (a major right-bank tributary of the Godavari) in the Kamareddy district of Telangana.

Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Telangana
Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Puducherry
Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh
Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh
Explanation
The CWMA handles the complex allocation parameters of the Cauvery basin water resource among the states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and the Union Territory of Puducherry.
Q66
Which of the following east-flowing rivers originates in the Chota Nagpur Plateau of Jharkhand and is heavily associated with the 'Hundru Falls' structural scarp?
Damodar
Subarnarekha
Brahmani
Baitarani
Explanation
The Subarnarekha River originates near Ranchi on the Chota Nagpur Plateau and forms the famous Hundru Falls where it drops 98 meters over a crystalline plateau scarp edge.

Q68
Which of the following east-flowing peninsular rivers features the prominent 'Koyna River' as a critical structural tributary, famous for triggering induced seismicity near its dam infrastructure?
Godavari
Krishna
Cauvery
Mahanadi
Explanation
The Koyna River is a major right-bank tributary of the Krishna River system. The construction of the Koyna Dam historically triggered severe reservoir-induced seismicity (RIS) in Maharashtra.

Krishna
Cauvery
Godavari
Palar
Explanation
The Stanley Reservoir, formed by the Mettur Dam across the Cauvery River in Tamil Nadu, is one of the largest structural storage units in Southern India.
Q70
The inter-state dispute tracking matrix known as the 'Mahadayi River Water Sharing Friction' primary involves which of the following regional groupings?
Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Puducherry
Goa, Karnataka, and Maharashtra
Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Andhra Pradesh
Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Rajasthan
Explanation
The Mahadayi (Mandovi) river allocation friction coordinates structural alignment battles primarily among Goa, Karnataka, and Maharashtra over the Kalasa-Banduri diversion channel tracking scheme.
