Q. What is the name of river formed by the confluence of the Sankh and South Koel rivers in Odisha?
Answer: Brahmani river
Notes: The bridge over the Brahmani river near Brahmabarada remains unfinished after eight years, causing inconvenience to over 20 villages in Rasulpur and Jajpur blocks. The Brahmani River, flowing through Odisha, is formed by the confluence of the Sankh and South Koel rivers. It flows through Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha, draining a total area of 39,033 sq.km. before emptying into the Bay of Bengal. The river is 799 km long, with 541 km in Odisha, and forms part of a large delta with the Mahanadi and Baitarani rivers. The Brahmani delta includes Bhitarkanika Wildlife Sanctuary, home to estuarine crocodiles.
