The Himalayan River System:

Most of the Himalayan rivers are perennial, which means they have water throughout the year. These rivers receive water from rain as well as from melted snow from the high mountains. The Indus and Brahmaputra are major Himalayan rivers. They originate from North of the mountain ranges. These rivers are long and joined by many large and important tributaries. They have cut through mountains, making gorges. The Himalayan rivers have long courses from their source to the sea. These rivers perform intensive erosion activity in their upper course and carry huge loads of silt and sand. These rivers form meanders, Ox-bow lakes and other depositional features in their middle and lower courses in the floodplains. These rivers have well developed deltas.
