Italian Unification

Goa a small but picturesque state is sustained by many rivers. These rivers have supported the land of Goa since the earliest forms of human habitation. The discovery of numerous rare Stone Age carvings stands testimony to this. Most of the prominent rivers of Goa originate in the thick forests, many of them sanctuaries, of Western Ghats and discharge into the Arabian Sea. Landscape of Goa characterized by small area is dominated by these rivers which are an intricate system of wetlands, tidal marshes and cultivated paddy fields interconnected by canals, inland lakes, bays, lagoons and creeks governed by regular tides. Goa is thus more intimately linked with its rivers and also more livelihood dependence on them.
