1. Jhelum River passes through Wular Lake.W
2. Krishna River directly feeds Kolleru Lake.
3. Meandering of Gandak River formed Kanwar Lake.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Correct Answer: (a) Only one
Note: Wular's water main source is Jhelum river. There is a small island in the centre of this lake, called 'Zaina Lank'. It is worth mentioning that this island was constructed by King Zainul-Abi-Din. Hence statement 1 is correct.
While talking about second statement, Kolleru lake does not directly feed the Kolleru lake but the lake is fed by two other rivers namely Budameru and Tammileru. These two river is connected to the Krishna and Godawari Systems by inflowing drains and channels. Hence we can say that the Krishna River indirectly feeds the Kolleru lake through its tributaries. Hence, statement 2 is not correct.
The meandering of the Gandak river did not form the Kan- war Lake, that is a freshwater oxbow lake located in Begus- arai District of Bihar, India. Significantly the Kanwar Lake was formed by a cutoff meander of an old channel of Burhi Gandak River.
Hence statement 3 is not correct.
