Answer 2

Answer:

•The Peninsular rivers rise at much lower heights in the Western Ghats whereas the Himalayan river originates at high elevations.

•The Peninsular rivers are non-perennial which means they receive water from glacier and rainfall whereas Himalayan rivers are perennial which means they are seasonal-dependent on monsoon.

•The Peninsular river have narrow catchment area whereas the Himalayan rivers have large catchment area. Larger catchment area ensures maximum flow of water.

•The Peninsular rivers have huge variations due to uneven rainfall in the Plateau region whereas all the Himalayan rivers maintain a sizeable flow.

•The Himalayan rivers has a minimum flow during Jan-June and maximum flow during August /September and gradual steady fall afterwards, whereas the Peninsular rivers has very low flow from January-July and a sharp rise in August and again a sudden fall in October.

•The Peninsular river flows from the rocks of peninsular region which are hard and impermeable, where supply of ground water is limited whereas Himalayan rivers pass through plains whose alluvial soils act as a huge reservoir of ground water.
