explain the difference between living river and a dead river
Answers
Explanation:
The Yamuna (Hindustani: pronounced [jamuna]) is the second-largest tributary river of the Ganga and the longest tributary in India. Originating from the Yamunotri Glacier at a height of 6,387 metres (20,955 ft) on the southwestern slopes of Banderpooch peaks of the Lower Himalaya in Uttarakhand, it travels a total length of 1,376 kilometres (855 mi) and has a drainage system of 366,223 square kilometres (141,399 sq mi), 40.2% of the entire Ganga Basin. It merges with the Ganga at Triveni Sangam, Prayagraj, which is a site of the Kumbh Mela, a Hindu festival held every 12 years.
It depends on whether you are talking about the river and everything it contains, or separating out pure, unadulterated water as a ‘carrier’.
It depends on whether you are talking about the river and everything it contains, or separating out pure, unadulterated water as a ‘carrier’.Flowing water is not of itself necessarily a living thing; when it is that part of the never-ending hydrological cycle which is falling rain, then it is to all intents and purposes lifeless, but once it hits the ground and eventually becomes part of a river, then it is carrying bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, worms, larvae, fish and so on, in which case I would then describe the whole mix as a living entity.
