Rivers on West Coast :

West coast has many rivers draining into the Bay of Bengal that form delta. The rivers Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri drain into the Bay of Bengal.
These rivers have formed fertile deltas at their mouth. Presence of so many deltas along the eastern coast is partly responsible for broader coastal plains on the east.
In the plateau areas, there may be several waterfalls as the river falls from a great height. In India, the Hundru falls in the Chhotanagpur plateau on the river Subarnarekha and the Jog falls in Karnataka are examples of such waterfalls
