Vishwamitri River:
The Gujarat Ecological Education and Research (GEER) has begun analysing the data of the crocodile census conducted in a 25-km urban stretch of the Vishwamitri river passing through Vadodara city.
- Vishwamitri River originates on the hill of Pavagadh hills in Gujarat.
- It is linked with two other tributaries Dhadhar and Jambuva and finally culminates in the Gulf of Kambhat.
- It is primarily rain-fed, flows through a 25-km stretch of Vadodara, along the way before meeting the sea in Bharuch district.
- It is highly meandering sinuous river which has a unique ecosystem bearing a plethora of beautiful ravines right from its beginning till its end.
- The Vadodara stretch of the Vishwamitri is unique in that it is home to a large population of mugger or marsh crocodiles (Crocodylus palustris).
