Bhima River (sh)




River, southern India.

Rising in Maharashtra state in the Western Ghats east of Mumbai (Bombay), it flows southeast 400 miles (645 km) through southern Maharashtra, northern Karnataka, and central Andhra Pradesh to join the Krishna River. The Bhima's banks are heavily populated. Its water level rises sharply during the monsoons, and receding flood waters form fertile farming belts.
