Explanation:
India is a land of rivers because it is drained by more than 400 big and small rivers. The Indian Drainage System can be divided into two broad categories on the basis of origin i.e. Himalayan Rivers and Peninsular Rivers. Here we are giving a list of comparison between Himalayan and the Peninsular Rivers of India that will enhance the general knowledge of aspirants of different examinations.Himalayan rivers are perennial and come from high altitude with high speed, and have large and deep courses. Indus, Ganga, and Brahmaputra is the main rivers of the Himalaya Rivers System. Peninsular Rivers are broad, stable and flow through shallow valleys. Narmada, Tapi, Godavari, Krishna, Cauvery and Mahanadi is the main Peninsular Rivers. The list of comparison between Himalayan and the Peninsular River of India Characteristics
Himalayan Rivers
Peninsular Rivers
Place of origin
Himalayan mountains (covered with glaciers).
Pre-Cambrian Peninsular plateau and central highland.
Nature of flow
Perennial; receive water from glacier and rainfall.
Seasonal; dependent on monsoon rainfall.
Drainage Pattern
Antecedent (Older than Himalaya). For example- Indus, Brahmaputra etc.
Non-antecedent (Younger than Himalaya) For example- Ganga, Yamuna, Jhelum etc.
Most of the rivers of peninsular India super imposed, rejuvenated resulting in trellis, radial, and rectangular patterns.
Nature of river
Long course, flowing through the rugged mountains experiencing head ward erosion and river capturing; In plains, meandering and shifting off course.
Smaller, fixed course with well adjusted valleys.
Catchment area
Big catchment area
Smaller catchment area
Age of the river
Young and youthful, active and deepening in the valleys
Old rivers with graded profile, and have almost reached their base levels.
In India, water mainly drains in two
The Himalayan region has the most rugged relief,it is divided into 3 parts (greater Himalayas,lesser Himalayas,shivalliks) this region has low temperature they reach high altitudes. Peninsularis divided into 2 parts (central,deccan) it received moderate temperature, the deccan plateau is titled towards the east
