Consider the following statements :
1. Jhelum River passes through Wular Lake.
2. Krishna River directly feeds Kolleru Lake.
3. Meandering of Gandak River formed Kanwar Lake.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
1. Jhelum River flows through Srinagar and enters Wular Lake before entering Pakistan. This statement is correct.
2. Kolleru Lake is located between the deltas of the Godavari and Krishna rivers. It is fed by seasonal rivers Budameru and Tammileru, not directly by the Krishna River. This statement is incorrect.
3. Kanwar Lake Bird Sanctuary, located in Bihar, is Asia's largest freshwater oxbow lake, formed due to the meandering of the Burhi Gandak river, a tributary of Ganga, not the main Gandak River itself. This statement is considered incorrect in the context of the specific river named.
4. Therefore, only one statement (Statement 1) is correct.
