Water Sources In India (Theme reveal)

 


“Aapo mayaf praanaha”  means, Water is essential for living creatures.  Says Vedic text.

“Aapo va idam sarvam”  means, this entire earth is in the form of water.  Says Upanishads.

 “Aapa Eva Sasarjaadau”  means, The very first creation of the Creator is Water.  Says Manu.

“Yaa srushtis srashturaadhyaa”  means, among the creations, water is the first one.  Says Kalidasa.  On this world water day, remember the importance of water as stated above from the famous Sanskrit texts.

Let’s pledge to “save water”.  On this special day, I decided to register for “Blogchatter’s A to Z” campaign and write about water sources like rivers, lakes, dams, reservoirs, in India.  Here is the list:

A - Amaravati     B - Brahma Putra     C - Cauvery       D - Damodar

E - Erai              F - Fulki                  G - Ganga         H - Hoobly

 I - Indus            J - Jeelam               K - Krishna         L - Lidder

M - Mahanadi     N - Narmada           O - Odiya           P - Penna

Q - Quilon Port   R - Reva                 S - Sutlej            T - Tamraparni

U - Upper Lake  V - Vaitarini              W - Wular Lake  

X - Xsalal (Salal)     Y - Yamuna         Z - Zankar
