UPSC 2010: Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched? Dam/Lake — River
(a)Govind Sagar : Satluj
(b)Kolleru Lake : Krishna
(c)Ukai Reservoir : Tapi
(d)Wular Lake : Jhelum
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Kolleru Lake : Krishna
Govind Sagar Reservoir is formed by Bhakra Dam on the Satluj; Ukai Reservoir is on the Tapi; and Wular Lake lies on the Jhelum. Kolleru Lake, however, is a freshwater depression situated BETWEEN the Krishna and Godavari deltas and is fed by local streams and canals, not directly by the Krishna River—hence the pair ‘Kolleru Lake : Krishna’ is wrongly matched.
