Question

Which industries are developed in Ganga-Yamuna plain?

Answer 1

The industries developed in the Ganga-Yamuna plains are mainly related to the agricultural sector, and core industrial units.

The agricultural sector thrives on fertile lands, which are found along the plains next to rivers. These rivers bring nutrient rich silt and alluvium to the plains, which aid in crop growth. Similarly, industrial units which manufacture goods often require large quantities of water, and easy access to transportation. A large river system provides the source of water for production, and also enables transportation using boats and barges.
