Question

How is the river Ganga useful to the people living in Uttar Pradesh? Will people living in Punjab and
Assam enjoy the same benefits of River Ganga?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna (GBM) river system flows through five countries – Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, and Nepal – characterized by large population, limited land resources, and frequent floods and natural hazards. Although the GBM region is well endowed with water sources, this is one of the poorest regions in the world. Its economy and human and environmental health depend on water, and water is thus at the heart of sustainable development, economic growth, and poverty reduction. This paper examines the opportunities for, and potential socio-economic benefits of, water resource management in the GBM region in the face of changing climate. It argues that water can be an entry point for addressing challenges common to the region, particularly through multi-purpose river projects that store monsoon water, mitigate the effects of floods and droughts, augment dry season river flows, expand irrigation and navigation facilities, generate hydropower, and enhance energy and environmental security. The paper emphasizes the importance of effective regional cooperation in water management to achieve these benefits. Upstream–downstream interdependencies necessitate development of a shared river system in an integrated and collaborative manner.The GBM river system, which originates in the Himalayas and empties into the Bay of Bengal, passes through five countries and connects them hydrologically, biophysically, and environmentally, forming a large natural region. The unique biophysical characteristics of the GBM catchment include Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, and Cherrapunji, the second wettest place on Earth. The region's climate varies considerably. However, most of the river system is located in the monsoon belt, and its water regimes are strongly influenced by the monsoon. Rainfall varies greatly over the years and over different parts of the region, ranging from 1000 to 4000 mm (Figure 1). Rainfall is highest in the Meghna basin, high in coastal areas, and lowest in the western part of Ganges basin. The mean annual rainfall is 1200 mm in the Ganges and 2300 mm in the Brahmaputra and Meghna basins.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In modern times the Ganges River has become a source of life for the nearly 400 million people living in its basin. They rely on the river for their daily needs such an drinking water supplies and food and for irrigation and manufacturing. Today the Ganges River basin is the most populated river basin in the world.
