Answer

Peninsular River System. Peninsular river system is further sub-divided as:

Rivers which flow into the Arabian sea: Include the Narmada and the Tapti (Tapi). They originate on the Deccan plateau and flow westwards into the Arabian sea. These rivers form estuaries and not delta.

Rivers flowing into the Bay of Bengal: Are Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri. All these rivers form deltas. Most of the Peninsular rivers are rapid flowing as the terrain through which they flow is hard and sloppy. They are ideal for generating hydel power.
