Answer:
The rivers of India may be classified into two categories; via: rivers of the north India and south India.
As the rivers of the north India have their sources in the Himalayas, they are perennial, being snow-fed in summer. The major rivers are the Ganga and its tributaries, the Brahmaputra and the Sutlej, Ravi and Beas – the main tributaries of the Indus. The major rivers of south India are the Narmada, the Tapti, the Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna, the Cauvery etc. These rivers have their sources in different mountain ranges of the south India and hence they are not perennial – they dry up in summer.
The Ganga:
ADVERTISEMENTS:
The Ganga is the most famous river of India. It is popularly called the Mother Ganga because of its usefulness. Its length is about 2,400 kms. It originates from the glacier called Gadgetry at Gomulka in the Himalayas. It flows in the mountainous bed about 320 kms. With the name “Bhagirathi” and then joins with the river Alakananda at Devaprayag. Thereafter, these two streams combine and bear the name “The Ganga”. And flowing for a distance enters into the plains at Hardware.
In this plain stage the tributaries like the Rama Ganga, the Gomati, the Ghaghara, the Gander and the Kisi drain into it from its left bank and from its right bank the Yamuna, the Chambal, the Beta and the Son join with U and it flows towards the east. In the lower reach it joins with the Brahmaputra at Goaled and with the name river Padma falls into the Bay of Bengal. Since the water of the Ganga has been very much polluted, efforts are now being made to clean and purify it.
