----------------------------------------
The Ganga River System:-
----------------------------------------
1️⃣The Ganga originates from the Gangotri Glacier
in Uttarakhand in the form of Bhagirathi river.
2️⃣ The Bhagirathi and the Alaknanda rivers join together at Devprayag and form the Ganga river.
3️⃣ The Ganga enters the plains at Haridwar in Uttarakhand.
4️⃣ Major tributaries of the Ganga are the Yamuna, the Ghaghara, the Gandak and the Kosi.
5️⃣ The Yamuna originates from the Yamunotri Glacier in the Himalayas and joins Ganga at Allahabad.
6️⃣ The Kosi, the Ghaghara and the Gandak originate from the Nepal Himalayas.
7️⃣They are flood prone rivers and cause heavy damage to life and property during floods.
8️⃣ The Chambal, the Betwa and the Son are the tributaries of the Ganga that originate from the peninsular plateau.
9️⃣The Northenmost point of the Ganga delta is Farakka in West Bengal. The river splits here and Bhagirathi-Hooghly (distributary) flows south into the Bay of Bengal; the main stream is joined by the Brahmaputra in Bangladesh and eventually falls into the Bay of Bengal forming the Sunderbans delta. Length of the Ganga is 2400 km.
----------------------------------------
The Brahmaputra River System:-
----------------------------------------
1️⃣The Brahmaputra originates in Tibet, very close to the origins of the Indus and the Satluj.
2️⃣It flows from West to East parallel to the Himalayas and enters India through Arunachal Pradesh after taking a U-turn at Namcha Barwa.
3️⃣ It is called Dihang in Arunachal Pradesh and is joined by tributaries such as the Lohit and the Dibang.These together form the Brahmaputra in Assam.
4️⃣Brahmaputra creates many riverine islands, the largest in the world being Manuli (in Assam).
5️⃣ The Brahmaputra is a flood prone river owing to huge deposits of silt on its bed that cause the overflowing of the river during monsoons.
---------------------------------------
The Indus River System:-
----------------------------------------
1️⃣Originates from Lake Mansarovar in Tibet and enters India through Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir.
2️⃣ The Zaskar, the Nubhra, the Shyok and the Hunza join the Indus in Kashmir.
3️⃣ The Satluj, the Ravi, the Chenab, the Beas and the Jhelum together join Indus at Mithankot in Pakistan. Indus merges with the Arabian Sea near Karachi in Pakistan.
4️⃣Length is 2900 km. It is one of the longest rivers in the world.
