Which river flows through the city of Lucknow?
Last Updated:
This question examines an important river-or-lake fact: “Which river flows through the city of Lucknow?” The correct answer is Gomti. The Gomti River flows through Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. The Gomti originates from Gomat Taal near Pilibhit in Uttar Pradesh and joins the Ganga near Varanasi. Lucknow has the famous Gomti Riverfront Development project. 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.
