The Brahmaputra River System
(a) Brahmaputra rises in Tibet, east of Mansarowar lake very close to the sources of the Indus and the Satluj.
— In Tibet, it is known by the name, Tsang Po.
— It is slightly longer than the Indus, and the most of its course lies in Tibet.
— It flows eastwards parallel to the Himalayas.
— In Tibet Tsang Po river carries a smaller volume of water and less silt as it is a comaparatively dry and hard rocked area.
(b) When it reaches near the mountain peak of Namcha Barwa (7757 m), it takes a 'U' turn and makes a 5500 m deep gorge and flows towards south.
— Then it enters India in Arunachal Pradesh through a gorge. Here it is called the Dihang and it is joined by the Dibang, the Lohit, the Kenula and numerous other tributaries to form the Brahmaputra in Assam.
(c) In India it passes through a region, which recieves a huge amount of rainfall. The result is that the river carries a large volume of water and considerable amount of silt.
(d) The Brahmaputra has a braided channel in its entire length in Assam, with numerous reverine islands.
— Every year during the rainy season, Brahmaputra river floods its banks and causes widespread devastation in Assam and Bangladesh.
— The river also shifts its channels during rainy season every year.
(e) In Bangladesh it is known as Jamuna.
