Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?
Dam/Lake : River
- A.Govind Sagar : Satluj
- B.Kolleru Lake : Krishna
- C.Ukai Reservoir : Tapi
- D.Wular Lake : Jhelum
▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: B. Kolleru Lake : Krishna
Kolleru Lake is a large freshwater lake in India that is located in Andhra Pradesh. It is a natural eutrophic lake formed by the natural adjoining of two sea bay-like depressions, with several villages located on the mainland on its periphery. The lake is fed by several streams and canals, but it is not primarily associated with the Krishna River. The other options correctly match the reservoir/lake with the river it is situated on or fed by.
