hey friend
here is ur answer....
1. Himalayan Rivers:
These rivers are again subdivided into two groups. Trans Himalayan and Himalayan. The Trans-Himalayan Rivers originate beyond the Great Himalayas. These are the Indus, the Sutlej and the Brahmaputra rivers. Himalayan rivers are those which originate in the Himalayas and flow through the Northern Plains, e.g., the Ganga, the Yamuna and their tributaries. These rivers are useful for irrigation and navigation and the lowlands drained by them have fertile alluvial deposits.
2. Peninsular Rivers:
The Peninsular Rivers originate in the Western Ghats. They have a large seasonal fluctuation in volume as they are solely fed from rainfall. These rivers flow in valleys with steep gradients. Major rivers of the Peninsula such as Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, Cauvery flow eastwards on the plateau and drain into Bay of Bengal.
The Narmada and Tapti flow eastwards. Narmada rises in Amarkantak plateau and enters Gulf of Cambay. The Tapti rises in Betul district of Madhya Pradesh and reaches the Arabian Sea, west of Surat. The Damodar flows to north of Ranchi plateau, the Mahanadi originates on northern edge of Dandakaranya and flowing east reaches Bay of Bengal. The Godavari rises near Trimbank in Nasik district and drains into Bay of Bengal.
The Cauvery rises in Brahmagir range on Western Ghats and finally joins the sea at Devikotta. The Sharavati flows into the Arabian Sea. Dams are built across these rivers and water stored in reservoirs is used for irrigation and generation of electricity.
hope this will help you
