Question
Write some important facts about the Narmada Basin.
✓
Answer
The Narmada rises in the Amarkantak hills in Madhya Pradesh. It flows towards the west in a rift valley formed due to faulting.
On its way to the sea, the Narmada creates many picturesque locations. The 'Marble Rocks' near Jabalpur where the Narmada flows through a deep gorge and the 'Dhuadhar Falls' where the river plunges over steep rocks, are some of the notable ones.
All the tributaries of Narmada are very short and most of these join the main stream at right angles. The Narmada Basin covers parts of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.
