Which river forms the Dhuan Dhar falls?
Last Updated:
This question examines an important river-or-lake fact: “Which river forms the Dhuan Dhar falls?” The correct answer is Narmada. The Dhuandhar Falls (meaning 'smoke cascade' or 'smoke waterfall') is located on the Narmada River near Bhedaghat, Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh. The name comes from the mist (like smoke) created when the river crashes over marble rocks. A river system includes its source, tributaries, distributaries, drainage basin, watershed, channel, floodplain, delta or estuary and final outlet. River behaviour depends on relief, geology, rainfall, snowmelt, sediment load, vegetation and human intervention. Examination questions often confuse a river’s source with its mouth, a left-bank tributary with a right-bank tributary, or a natural lake with a reservoir.
