Musi

From Freepedia

Musi is the name of at least two rivers, one in India, the other in Indonesia.

Indonesia's Musi river is 750 kilometers long and flows through Palembang, the provincial capital of South Sumatra. It joins with the several other rivers, including the Banyuasin, to form a delta near the city of Sungsang.

The Musi river in India is also known as "the river of Moses." India's fifth-largest city, Hyderabad, lies on the banks of the Musi. The river originates in Anantagiri Hills and joins Krishna River near Wazirabad in Nalgonda District. Himayat Sagar and Osman Sagar are the two dams buit on it which act as source of water for Hyderabad.
