find out where and how they ultimately join the Ganga notes
Answers
Answer:
• The river Ganga originates from Gangotri Glacier and is called Bhagirathi over here.
• It is joined by Alaknanda at Devaprayag in Uttarakhand.
• At Haridwar, it enters the plains and starts doing the job of transportation and deposition.
• The major Himalayan rivers joining Ganga are the Yamuna, the Ghaghra, the Gandak and the Kosi.
• The river Yamuna flows parallel to the Ganga and as a right bank tributary meets the Ganga at Allahabad.
• The Ghaghra, the Gandak and the Kosi originate from Nepal Himalayas and ultimately join river Ganga.
• These rivers flood northern plains almost every year causing widespread damage to life and property but enriching the soil for the extensive agricultural land.
• The tributaries coming from the peninsular uplands are the Chambal, the Betwa and the Son.
• Enlarged with waters from its right and left bank tributaries, the Ganga flows eastwards till Farakka in West Bengal. This is the northern most point of the Ganga Delta.
• The river bifurcates here; the Bhagirathi—Hooghly flows southwards through the deltic plains to the Bay of Bengal. With Brahmaputra, it forms the world's biggest delta called the 'Sunderbans Delta'. Here, ends the journey of river Ganga.
