Question

Difference between perennial river and seasonal river

Answer 1

Perennial rivers are those rivers which exhibit a continuous flow of water throughout the year except during extreme drought. On the other hand, non-perennial rivers are those rivers which have no flow for at least a part of the year.


move in one general direction. It flows towards a sea, lake, etc. Rivers flow from a higher point to a lower point and it also collects water from some other streams many times. The characteristics of rivers are generally dependent on climate.

Perennial rivers are also known as permanent rivers. They flow throughout the year. It is indicated by the river channel which touches water table throughout the year. These rivers work extensively by eroding and deposing sediments in the channel. Groundwater and inflow from groundwater also tends to contribute in a perennial river. These are usually found in regions with humid climate where evaporation rates are much lesser than the rainfall. They may show some seasonal fluctuations in the water level but these fluctuations do not impact the flow much, and the stream flow still remains to be constant
