You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Purna River''' is a major left-bank tributary of [[Godavari River]] originating in the Ajanta Range<ref>[http://www.nih.ernet.in/rbis/basin%20maps/godavari/Purna.htm]((dead link|date=April 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes ))</ref> of hills in [[Aurangabad District, Maharashtra]].The river lies in the rain shadow region of [[Maharashtra]], on the [[Deccan Plateau]], flowing through the districts of [[Aurangabad district, Maharashtra|Aurangabad]], [[Buldana District|Buldana]], [[Jalna district|Jalna]], [[Hingoli District|Hingoli]] and [[Parbhani district|Parbhani]] with a large catchment area measuring about 15,579&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>. This enormous catchment area is often tagged as a sub-basin of [[Godavari River]] and along with its tributaries forms a dendritic drainage pattern.<ref>((cite web | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304110406/http://www.jalna.nic.in/html/pdf/Apatti.pdf | archive-date=4 March 2016 | url=http://www.jalna.nic.in/html/pdf/Apatti.pdf | title=Jalna District Disaster Management Plan | publisher=Jalna District Disaster Management Plan | access-date=9 August 2019 ))</ref> It is a prime river in the [[Marathwada]] region of [[Maharashtra]] running for about 373&nbsp;km before it converges with [[Godavari River]] south of [[Purna]] city in the [[Parbhani District|Parbhani district]].

== Origin ==
The river originates in the Ajanta Hill range within the [[Gautala Autramghat Sanctuary|Gautala Wildlife Sanctuary]] at an elevation of 838m. The sanctuary provides the much needed forest cover acting like a sponge to soak in the 711&nbsp;mm to 889&nbsp;mm of rain received per year, a crucial source of water, in this rain scarce region of [[Maharashtra]].

== Course ==
The river has an extensive course measuring up to 373&nbsp;km in length making it longer than the [[River Thames]] of [[Great Britain]]. Very close to its origin, it is dammed through the Nevpur Medium Irrigation Project<ref>((cite web

Collecting the tributary Anjana within the Sillod taluka, it ends its short course within [[Aurangabad district, Maharashtra|Aurangabad]] and enters the [[Jalna district|Jalna]] where it is consecutively joined by two rivers, Girija at Walsakhalsa and Kelana at Jafrabad. Beyond this the river enters the [[Buldana district]] where it spreads out into the backwaters of the Khadakpurna dam and also receives another small tributary called Damna. Then on the river assumes the role of a natural boundary between the two districts of Hingoli and Parbhani. Along the course here its flow is interrupted by two dams; [[Yeldari Dam]]<ref>((cite web

))</ref> The flow, now considerably reduced due to the presence of the two dams, trickles along down south, leaving the boundary between Hingoli and Parbhani and flowing down into Parbhani. Just before SH 222 crosses the river, it is joined by its largest tributary - Dudhana River, thereby augmenting its flow. In its last lap the river flows through [[Purna]] city where it is damned for the last time and ultimately flows into the [[Godavari River]] at an elevation of about 351m.

== Tributaries ==
The longest tributary of Purna is Dudhana river. The list of the most significant tributaries is provided below, from the river that form a confluence nearest to the origin to the one furthest away.
