South Indian geography can be divided into two region
1. Western Ghats
2. Easter Ghats
"Ghat" means the mountain ranges of typically high altitude (Compared to other places) geographically unique, which attracts clouds and brigs rain and influences a lot in wind flow and controls overall natural resource distribution.
Western ghats starts from Tamilnadu state of south India to Rajasthan state of North india, where the end of ghat does not have much dens forest.
Most of the dense forest and sensitive region of the western ghats is in Karnataka, Goa and Maharastra states. This ghat section is birth place of many rivers, which form a life line of all living body of the states.
Karnataka have wester ghats which is very sensitive area such as Kudremukh forest range, which is close to chikkamagalur district, where smal changes in earth environment is reflected in plants growth and have potential to change echo system of the south India, including mansson which control the life of the entire Indian.
Like any other places in the planet earth, karnataks is rich in natural resources, like water, ores. There are many river, some of the rivers which flows via many states, of course, helps many people and creates water distribution issues in a region.
There are many rivers which take birth in karnataka and ends its journey in karnataka by joining Arabian sea. Because of this, the region has utilized the water of these rivers completely by constructing reservoirs, barrages, check dams and use this for irrigation and power generation, including nuclear thermal power plant. But sad part of this is, the water from these collected rivers are being used for Majorly power generation and not for any agricultural activity, of course the geography and the short length of the river bed made it is difficult to use for irrigation. And as in other part of the world, very less water flows into see at any point of time in a year and posing a very serious challenges to existence and survival of river dependent plats, fishes, animals.
Since I like to know more about geography and i live in karanataks, it is very natural for me to have urge to understand local geography.
I have used Google maps to build/mark rivers which is part of karnataka region and the reservoir constructed in the region.
The maps has information about most of the (90%) rivers birth place and which place it joins other rivers and the reservoir on river flow path.
Below are the maps which i created
1. Karnataka Rivers
2. Karnataka dams/reservoir
3. Combined Karnataka Rivers Layer and Reservoir layer which help to understand overall water distribution
I am working on to have Lakes, small ponds and Lake interconnect lanes in Google maps, soon i will publish here to share with all.
Karnataka Rivers Layer
Karnataka Dams/Reservoirs
Combined Karanatak Resources layers
Those who wants to see only Karnataka border to understand the geography clear.
