■ The Ganges ,also known as Ganga, is a trans-boundary river of Asia which flows through the nations of India and Bangladesh.

■ The Ganga rises on the southern slopes of the Himalayan ranges from the Gangotri glacier at 4,000 m above mean sea level.

■ It flows swiftly for 250 km in the mountains, descending steeply to an elevation of 288 m above mean sea level. In the Himalayan region the Bhagirathi is joined by the tributaries Alaknanda and Mandakini to form the Ganga. ■ After entering the plains at Hardiwar, it winds its way to the Bay of Bengal, covering 2,500 km through the provinces of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal

■ In the plains it is joined by Ramganga, Yamuna, Sai, Gomti, Ghaghara, Sone, Gandak, Kosi and Damodar along with many other smaller rivers. Introduction

■ The Ganga receives over 60 per cent of its discharge from its tributaries

■ The Ganga river carries the highest silt load of any river in the world

■ The deposition of this material in the delta region results in the largest river delta in the world (400 km from north to south and 320 km from east to west).

■ One third of the country's urban population lives in the towns of the Ganga basin. Out of the 2,300 towns in the country, 692 are located in this basin, and of these, 100 are located along the river bank itself.
