Bhima river arial HD
The Bhima River is a major river in South India. It flows southeast for 861 kilometres (535 mi) through Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Telangana states, before entering the Krishna River. After the first sixty-five kilometers in a narrow valley through rugged terrain,[1] the banks open up and form a fertile agricultural area which is densely populated.[2]
The river is prone to flooding due to heavy rainfall during the monsoon season. In 2005 there was severe flooding in Solapur, Bijapur and Gulbarga districts.[3] The river is also referred to as Chandrabhaga River, especially at Pandharpur, as it resembles the shape of the Moon.
