Consider the following pairs: 1. Harike Wetlands - Confluence of Beas and Satluj/Sutlej 2. Keoladeo Ghana National Park - Confluence of Banas and Chambal 3. Kolleru Lake - Confluence of Musi and Krishna Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Satluj River meets the Beas at Harike in the southwest corner of Kapurthala[1], and the Indira Gandhi Canal starts from the Harike Barrage at Harike, a few kilometers below the confluence of the Satluj and Beas rivers[2]. Therefore, **Pair 1 is correct**.

Keoladeo Ghana National Park in Rajasthan is fed by the Ban Ganga and Gambhir rivers, not the Banas and Chambal rivers[3]. Therefore, **Pair 2 is incorrect**.

Kolleru Lake in Andhra Pradesh is located between the deltas of the Godavari and Krishna rivers, not specifically at the confluence of the Musi and Krishna[4]. Therefore, **Pair 3 is incorrect**.

Since only the first pair is correctly matched, the answer is **option A (1 only)**.

This question tests the 'River-Ecosystem Nexus'. It is not enough to know lists of wetlands; you must overlay the Drainage map on the Protected Areas map. The examiner creates traps by pairing a famous site with a major river from the same state that does not actually feed it.

How this question is built

This question can be broken into the following sub-statements. Tap a statement sentence to jump into its detailed analysis.

Statement 1
Are the Harike Wetlands in India located at the confluence of the Beas and Sutlej rivers?
Origin: Direct from books Fairness: Straightforward Book-answerable

“Below the Bhakra Dam, the river comes to the Punjab Plain at Rupar. From Rupar, Satluj River flows westward, and at Harike in the southwest corner of Kapurthala, it meets the Beas. After the confluence, the combined river enters Pakistan. In India, the length of its course is 1050 km, draining an area of about 28,090 sq km.”
Why this source?
  • Directly states that the Satluj (Sutlej) meets the Beas at Harike (southwest corner of Kapurthala).
  • Names Harike as the location of the confluence, linking the place to both rivers.

“The river flows through the Kullu valley and forms gorges at Kati and Largi in the Dhaoladhar range. It enters the Punjab plains where it meets the Satluj near Harike. The Satluj originates in the 'Raksas tal' near Mansarovar at an altitude of 4,555 m in Tibet where it is known as Langchen Khambab. It flows almost parallel to the Indus for about 400 km before entering India, and comes out of a gorge at Rupar. It passes through the Shipki La on the Himalayan ranges and enters the Punjab plains. It is an antecedent river. It is a very important tributary as it feeds the canal system of the Bhakra Nangal project.”
Why this source?
  • NCERT excerpt notes the river meets the Satluj near Harike, confirming Harike as the meeting point in the Punjab plains.
  • Provides independent authoritative support (textbook) for the same locational claim.

“Canals are also constructed by pumping water out of the river through big electric pumps. Indira Gandhi Canal is the longest canal in India and the largest irrigation project in the world. It is 649 Km long and starts from the Harike Barrage at Harike, a few kilometers below the confluence of the Satluj and Beas rivers in the Indian state of Punjab and terminates in the Thar Desert in the north west of Rajasthan State by flowing through Haryana. The canal is one of the projects of Green Revolution in India and also runs through The Great Thar Desert. • 2.”
Why this source?
  • States the Harike Barrage is at Harike, a few kilometers below the confluence of the Satluj and Beas, corroborating Harike's immediate proximity to that confluence.
  • Links human infrastructure (barrage/canal origin) to the geographic confluence location.

Strength: 5/5
“The Chambal River of length 960 km rises near Mhow Cantt.—south-west of Indore in Malwa Plateau from the Vindhyan Range—and flows towards the north in a gorge upto the city of Kota. Below Kota, it turns to the north-east, and after passing Bundi, Sawai-Madhopur, and Dholpur, it finally joins the Yamuna about 40 km to the west of Etawah. The Banas River, rising from the Aravalli Range is its main left bank tributary. Kali Sind, Parbati and Kunwari originating from the Malwa Plateau are the right bank tributaries of Chambal. The Chambal River is famous for its extensive ravines which it has carved all along in the Lower Chambal Valley.”
Why relevant

States that the Banas is the main left‑bank tributary of the Chambal and lists towns (Kota, Bundi, Sawai‑Madhopur, Dholpur) along the Chambal’s course before it joins the Yamuna.

How to extend

A student could use a map to locate where Banas meets Chambal relative to the towns named and compare that point to Bharatpur/Keoladeo’s location.

Why relevant

Again names Keoladeo‑Ghana as a Rajasthan park (and a wetland important for migratory birds), implying its geographic setting is a wetland in that district rather than necessarily a river confluence.

How to extend

A student could compare typical wetland settings (e.g., former oxbow lakes, seasonal marshes) with river confluence sites on a map to assess plausibility.

Why relevant

Notes Keoladeo National Park’s international recognition (Montreux Record), reinforcing that its location is well‑documented and can be checked against river maps.

How to extend

Use authoritative sources or maps referenced for internationally listed wetlands to locate the park and see if it lies at the Banas–Chambal confluence.

Strength: 5/5
“Situated in Andhra Pradesh, it is the largest fresh water lake of India. It is located between the deltas of the Krishna and Godavari rivers in the Krishna and Godavari districts. The lake serves as a natural flood-balancing reservoir for the two rivers. The lake was an important habitat for an estimated 20 million residents and migratory birds Grey or Spot-billed pelicans. Rich in flora and fauna, it attracts birds from Siberia and eastern Europe between the months of October and March. The lake was notified as a wildlife sanctuary in 1999 under India's Wild Life Protection Act. It was declared a wetland of international importance in 2002 under Ramsar convention.”
Why relevant

States Kolleru Lake is located between the deltas of the Krishna and Godavari and serves as a natural flood‑balancing reservoir for the two rivers.

How to extend

A student could infer that the lake lies between two major river systems (Krishna and Godavari) rather than at a small tributary confluence, so they should check maps to see if Musi meets Krishna near Kolleru.

Strength: 4/5
“Rising from a spring near Mahabaleshwar, the Krishna flows for about 1400 km and reaches the Bay of Bengal. The Tungabhadra, the Koyana, the Ghatprabha, the Musi and the Bhima are some of its tributaries. Its drainage basin is shared by Maharasthra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.”
Why relevant

Lists the Musi as one of the tributaries of the Krishna River.

How to extend

Use this to reason that Musi meets Krishna somewhere along Krishna's course; a map lookup of where Musi joins Krishna versus where Kolleru lies would test whether the confluence is at the lake.

Strength: 4/5
“Below the confluence with Indravati, it flows in a picturesque gorge through the Eastern Ghats. Below Rajamundry, it has constructed a large symmetrical delta and reaches the Bay of Bengal by its three main ditributaries. The delta of Godavari is characterised by a number of palaeo-channels and mangroves associated with lagoons. The 'Kolleru Lake', lying to the southeast of Kakinada, is one such 'inland lagoon'.”
Why relevant

Describes Kolleru as an 'inland lagoon' lying to the southeast of Kakinada and associated with deltaic lagoons of the Godavari.

How to extend

Combine this with a map: if Kolleru is tied to Godavari deltaic features near Kakinada, it is likely distant from an inland tributary confluence of Musi and Krishna.

“• (i) On an outline map of India mark and label the following rivers: Ganga, Satluj, Damodar, Krishna, Narmada, Tapi, Mahanadi, and Brahmaputra.• (ii) On an outline map of India mark and label the following lakes: Chilika, Sambhar, Wular, Pulicat, Kolleru.”
Why relevant

Includes Kolleru among a list of lakes to be located on an outline map of India (implying its notable geographic position on the east coast between river deltas).

How to extend

A student could mark Kolleru and then plot the Musi and Krishna to see relative positions and whether their confluence coincides with the lake.

Pattern takeaway: UPSC frequently tests 'Confluences' (e.g., Prayags in Uttarakhand). Here, they applied the confluence logic to wetlands. The trap pattern is 'Right State, Wrong River'—pairing a site with a prominent river from the same region to trick superficial readers (e.g., Kolleru is in AP, Musi is in AP, but they don't meet at the lake).
How you should have studied
  1. [THE VERDICT]: Sitter. Statement 1 is a basic NCERT fact (Class 11). Statements 2 and 3 are standard elimination if you know the general course of Krishna and Chambal.
  2. [THE CONCEPTUAL TRIGGER]: Drainage Systems & Ramsar Sites. Specifically, the 'Source of Water' for major wetlands.
  3. [THE HORIZONTAL EXPANSION]: Memorize the 'Feeder Rivers' for key wetlands: Chilika (Daya River), Wular (Jhelum), Keoladeo (Gambhir & Banganga), Sambhar (Mendha, Rupangarh), Loktak (Manipur River system), and Bhitarkanika (Brahmani-Baitarani delta).
  4. [THE STRATEGIC METACOGNITION]: Do not study rivers and parks in isolation. When reading about a National Park, ask: 'Which river flows through it?' When reading about a River, ask: 'Which parks are on its banks?' This cross-mapping is the key.

👉 River confluences as geographic locators
💡 The insight

The references repeatedly identify Harike as the place where the Satluj (Sutlej) and Beas meet, using a confluence to define location.

Confluences are high-yield geographic identifiers frequently used to locate towns, wetlands, and infrastructure; mastering this helps answer location-based questions and reason about river systems and plains. Study by mapping major Indian river confluences and linking them to nearby settlements and projects.

🌑 The Hidden Trap

The confluence of Banas, Chambal, and Sip rivers is a famous pilgrimage site called 'Rameshwaram Ghat' (Triveni Sangam) in Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan. This is the actual geographic feature for the rivers mentioned in Statement 2.

⚡ Elimination Cheat Code

Topographic Common Sense: Kolleru is a 'Coastal' lake (located between deltas). The Musi river flows through Hyderabad (Deccan Plateau) and joins Krishna upstream. A plateau tributary confluence cannot physically be the location of a coastal deltaic lake. Eliminate Statement 3 immediately.

🔗 Mains Connection

Harike Barrage is the source of the Indira Gandhi Canal. This links Geography to Economy (Green Revolution in Rajasthan) and International Relations (Indus Water Treaty—India utilizes Sutlej/Beas waters here before they enter Pakistan).
