Explanation:

Both the statements are incorrect.

Chilika Lake is not separated from the sea by a shallow coral reef. It is a brackish water lagoon located along the east coast of India and is separated from the Bay of Bengal by a narrow sandbar or barrier spit.

The hydrological subsystems of Chilika Lake do not have a major contribution from the River Cauvery. The primary rivers that feed Chilika Lake are the Mahanadi River and smaller local rivers and streams.
