=>Riverin System in Odisha :-

-Baitarani River: The Baitarani is one of the important east flowing rivers of
peninsular India, flowing eastward and joining the Bay of Bengal. The river rises
in the hill ranges of Keonjhar District of Orissa near Manakarancho village at an
elevation of about 900m above M.S.L. On its way, many tributaries join the river
from both banks. Details of the tributaries have been given in the table below. The
basin is situated approximately between east longitudes of 850 – 10’to 870-03’and
between north latitudes of 200-35’to 220-15’. The basin is surrounded by the
Brahmani on the south and west, the Subernarekha on the orth, the Burhganbalang and
the Bay of Bengal on the east. The river is flashy in nature having a total length
of 355 km. With the upper reach upto to Anandpur in the hilly reason. There is a
considerable fall in geographical gradient from RL 367.000 m at Champua to RL
28.000 m at Anandpur.
-Brahmani: The Brahmani is a major inter-state east flowing river amongst the
peninsular rivers in India. This basin is situated within the geographical co-
ordinates of north latitude 20°-28′- to 23°-35′ and east longitude 83°52′ to 87°03′
approximately. The basin is bounded in the North by Chhotanagpur plateau, in the
West and South by the Mahanadi basin and in the East by the Bay of Bengal. The
basin flows through Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Orissa States and draining a total
area of 39,033 sq.km. before it outfalls in to the Bay of Bengal.
-Indravati: The river Indravati rises at an elevation of 914 metres in the
Kalahandi district of Odisha on the western slopes of the Eastern Ghats. It flows
west-ward through the Kalahandi, Nabarangapur and Koraput districts for 164 kms and
after forming the boundary between Odisha and Chhattisgarh states for 9.5 kms,
enters the Bastar district of Chhattisgarh. After flowing 233 kms in Chhattisgarh,
it turns south and flows along the boundary of Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra for
about 129 kms and joins Godavari River at the junction of the boundaries of
Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Telangana states.
-Mahanadi: The Mahanadi basin extends over states of Chhattisgarh and Odisha and
comparatively smaller portions of Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh,
draining an area of 1,41,589 Sq.km which is nearly 4.3% of the total geographical
area of the country. The geographical extent of the basin lies between 80°28’ and
86°43’ east longitudes and 19°8’ and 23°32’ north latitudes. The basin has maximum
length and width of 587 km and 400 km. It is bounded by the Central India hills on
the north, by the Eastern Ghats on the south and east and by the Maikala range on
the west. The Mahanadi is one of the major rivers of the country and among the
peninsular rivers, in water potential and flood producing capacity, it ranks second
to the Godavari. It originates from a pool, 6 km from Farsiya village of Dhamtari
district of Chhattisgarh. The total length of the river from origin to its outfall
into the Bay of Bengal is 851 km. The Seonath, the Hasdeo, the Mand and the Ib
joins Mahanadi from left whereas the Ong, the Tel and the Jonk joins it from right.
Six other small streams between the Mahanadi and the Rushikulya draining directly
into the Chilka Lake also forms the part of the basin. The major part of basin is
covered with agricultural land accounting to 54.27% of the total area and 4.45% of
the basin is covered by water bodies.
-Subarnarekha: After originating near piska/nagri, near Ranchi, the capital of
Jharkhand, the Subarnarekha traverses a long distance through Ranchi Seraikela
Kharsawan and East Singhbhum districts in the state. Thereafter, it flows for
shorter distances through Paschim Medinipur district in West Bengal for 83
kilometres (52 mi) and Balasore district of Odisha. There, it flows for 79
kilometres (49 mi) and joins the Bay of Bengal near Talsari. The total length of
the river is 395 kilometres (245 mi). The basin of the Subarnarekha is smaller
than most multi-state river basins in India. The rain-fed river covers a drainage
area of 18,951 square kilometres (7,317 sq mi) Fishing at Subarnarekha river near
Domohani (confluence of Subarnarekha and Kharkhai) The prominent tributaries of the
Subarnarekha are Kharkai, Roro, Kanchi, Harmu Nadi, Damra, Karru, Chinguru,
Karakari, Gurma, Garra, Singaduba, Kodia, Dulunga and Khaijori. The Kharkai meets
