Himalayan Rivers
The three most important Himalayan Rivers are Ganga, Indus, and the Brahmaputra. These are actually river systems as they are joined in their journey by many tributaries. These rivers are perennial rivers as they are not dependent upon rainfall to feed them. They originate in the Himalayas as a result of melting of ice and glaciers. All these rivers and their tributaries produce large plain areas and are deep enough to be navigable. In the start of their journey, these Himalayan Rivers also prove to be great sources of hydroelectricity. Falling from great heights, these rivers have great flow and velocity of water causing erosion of land forms in their way.
Peninsular Rivers
The origins of peninsular rivers lie in plateaus and small hills. There is no snow to feed water, and as such these rivers are seasonal and dry up in summers. These rivers do not have a high erosion activity as they flow through gentle slopes. The flow of water in these rivers is also at a slow pace, not allowing for meandering of rivers. However, these rivers still prove abundant source of hydroelectricity
