== Geography ==<br />
The Godavari delta is surrounded by the tributaries of Vruddha Godavari, Vasishta Godavari, Gautami and Nilarevu.<br />
<br />
After crossing the city of [[Rajahmundry]], the Godavari River bifurcates into two [[Distributary|distributaries]], the Vruddha Gautami (Gautami Godavari) and the Vasishta Godavari, which then further splits into the Gautami and the Nilarevu. Similarly, the Vasishta splits into two branches, the Vasishta and the Vainateya. These branches form a delta 170&nbsp;km (105&nbsp;mi) long along the coast of the Bay of Bengal. This delta makes up the Konaseema region.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iu9dBAAAQBAJ |title=Konaseema: Hidden Land of the Godavari |authors=Akella, S.; Pannala, V. |date=2014 |publisher=Partridge Publishing India |isbn=9781482835687|language=en}}</ref><br />
