Explanation

The wetland ecosystem of Harike lies on the confluence of the Beas and Sutlej and the main water body (reservoir) came into existence when a barrage was constructed across the confluence of the two rivers in 1952.

So 2nd is wrong Kolleru is famous. You must know but if you are confused, Musi is tributary of Krisha And Kolleru is between deltas of Krishna and GOdavari
