LOCATION OF RIVER IN SOUTHSOUTHERN RIVER play an important role in the lives of the Indian people. The river systems provide irrigation, potable water, cheaptransportation, electricity, and the livelihoods for a large number of people all over the country and to rural areas. This easily explains why nearly all the major cities of India are located by the banks of rivers .
KRISHNAThe Krishna River is one of the most important peninsular
Rivers in central-southern India. The Krishna River is the third longest river in India after the Ganges and the
Godavari. The river is almost 1,300 km (810 miles) long.i

FLOODA flood is an overflow of water that submerges land which is
usually dry.[1] The European Union (EU) Floods Directive defines a flood as a covering by water of land not normally covered by water.[2] In the sense of "flowing water", the word may also be
applied to the inflow of thetide. Flooding may occur as an overflow of water from water bodies, such as a river or lake, in which the water overtops or breaks levees, resulting in some of that water
escaping its usual boundarieS

WHAT IS RIVER ACTION PLAN?
The water quality data generated through National Water Monitoring Programme and River Basin Studies carried out since, 1980 indicated deterioration of water quality in riverine segments and other water bodies. The water bodies not meeting the desired
water quality criteria are identified as polluted river stretches/water bodies. The deviation of water quality from the desired water quality criteria in the data generated for the river Ganga formed the basis for launching Ganga Action Plan (GAP).
Subsequently, the river stretches not meeting the desired criteria are identified in all the major river basins. The identified polluted
river stretches were intensively surveyed by State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) and Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)
to identify the sources of pollution such as Urban Centres and Industrial Units
