The Rivers in Goa

    The Rivers in Goa are short, almost perennial, and these include –
     #Terekhol,  #Mandavi, #Baga,  #Zuari, #Colval, #Saleri, #Mandre, #Harmal, #Sal, #Talpona and #Galjibag are the eleven #rivers_of_Goa, which are known as the lifelines of the state. 
·     The Mandavi is the major river of Goa. This river earlier was popular by the name #Goamati. It is believed that the state of Goa has received the name #Gomantak from Gomati as this river had significant place in the life of Goan. 
·     The #Zuari_River is the longest river in the state of Goa, and has second largest basin after Mandavi. The Zuari’s source water; lie entirely within the state, with the inter-state boundary almost following the water divide. 
·     Terekhol is the #northernmost_river which originates in the Manohargad in the #Sahyadris and runs along the border of Goa in a southwesterly direction and then assumes a northwesterly flow before discharging itself into the #Arabian Sea.
·     The Baga river is the smallest river of Goa that emerges from the forested areas of #Assagao_of_Bardez. By flowing for only about 10km, the river joins finally to the Arabian Sea.
