Answer 2

Himalayan rivers

1. Rivers of the Himalayan region originate from the glaciers in the high mountain region.

2. Glaciers are the major sources of water in these rivers. Hence, they are perennial in nature.

3. These rivers bring new alluvium daily and spread in the plains. Hence, they are known for agriculture.

4. These rivers flow in plains. Hence, they are slow flowing rivers. If electricity is to be produced, dams are erected on them to build artificial waterfall.

5. Construction of canals is cheap and easy.

Hence, numerous canals have been built to carry water to the fields.

6. These rivers are subdivided into two (1) Rivers flowing into the Arabian Sea, the Indus and its tributaries (2) Rivers flowing into the Bay of Bengal, the Brahmaputra, the Ganga and its tributaries, Tista and Manas

7. The Ganga and the Brahmaputra is

Peninsular rivers

1. Rivers of the Peninsular India originate plateaus or high lands.

2. These rivers get water mainly from rains. Hence, they are seasonal. During dry season they get dried up or are very slow and meagre flow of water is seen in them.

3. They do not spread silt and no major plains are found in the Peninsular India. Fertile lands are seen only in small deltas.

4. Because ofundulating topography these rivers flow with high speed forming water falls. Hence, they are suitable for generation of hydel power.

5. Hard resistant rocks and undulating surface

hinder the construction of canals in this region.

6. These rivers are also subdivided as rivers flowing into the Arabian Sea and those flowing into the Bay of Bengal. Narmada and

Tapti flow into Arabian Sea, and Mahanadi,

Krishna, Godavari and Kaveri into the Bay

of Bengal
