Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The three main rivers of the Northern plains are the Satluj, Ganga and Brahmaputra. They divided the plains into three river basins. The three river basins are :-

1. The Satluj Basin:

The Satluj River along with its main tributary, the Beas, flows towards the south-west. It joins the river Indus in Pakistan. Which finally flows into the Arabian Sea? The Satluj river basins are very fertile. The main crops grown here are wheat, rice, cotton and sugarcane. The Bhakra Dam is built across the Satluj River. Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, and Ambala are the important cities of this basin.

2. The Ganga Basin:

The Ganga is the most important river in the Northern plains. The river originates as Bhagirathi from a glacier called Gangotri, in the Himalayas. On its way down the hills, Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers join Bhagirathi. The combined waters of these three rivers become the mighty Ganga. It enters the plains as a big river near Rishikesh.

Many big and small rivers join the Ganga in the plains. The river Yamuna joins Ganga at Allahabad. This place is called Sangam.
