The Indus Basin:-
The Indus Basin is formed by the Indus and its tributaries. It is located in the states of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab. The Indus flows over 2900 kms in length. Other important rivers of this basin are Satluj, Beas, Ravi, Chenab and Jhelum. The highland (commonly known as Ambala- Saharanpur water divide) separates the Basin from the Ganga Basin. Rivers flow in this Basin from north-west to south-west. This Basin has fertile land and a dense network of canals for irrigation.
The Ganga Basin:-
The Ganga Basin is formed by the Ganga and its tributaries. It is located in Haryana, Raj as then, Uttar Pradesh, M.P., Bihar and West Bengal. The Ganga flows over 1900 kms in length. The other tributaries of the Ganga include Yamuna, Gomati, Ghaghara, Gandak, Kosi, Chambal, Betwa, Ken and Son. The Ganga basin spreads from Ambala in the north-west to the Sundarbans in the east. Except in the upper portion irrigation facilities are comparatively less owing to high amount of rainfall.
