Read the short passage given below and answer the question: The main peninsular river systems include the Narmada, the Tapi, the Godavari, the Krishna, the Kaveri, and the Mahanadi river systems. The Peninsular rivers flow through shallow valleys. A large number of them are seasonal as their flow is dependent on rainfall. The intensity of eros ional activities is also comparatively low because of the gentler slope. The hard rock bed and lack of silt and sand do not allow any significant meandering. Many rivers therefore have straight and linear courses. These rivers provide huge opportunities for hydro-electric power. Which word from the passage means 'twisting or turning'?
