Question

explain the ganga river system and brahmaputra river system

Answer 1

Answer:

The Ganga river system consists of the master river Ganga and a large number of its tributaries. This system drains a very large area comprising the middle part of the Himalayas in the north, the northern part of the Indian Plateau in the south and the Ganga Plain in-between. The total area of the Ganga basin in India is 861,404 sq km which accounts for 26.3 per cent of the geographical area of the country.

The Brahmaputra (meaning the son of Brahma) rises in the great Chemayungdung glacier in the Kailas range of the Himalayas a little south of the Lake Konggyu Tsho at an elevation of about 5,150 m located at 30° 31′ N latitude and 82° 10′ E longitude. This source is about 150 km away from the source of the Indus and only 35 km from the birth place of the Satluj.
