Question

Why are peninsular rivers not ideal for navigation

Answer 1

Peninsular rivers are seasonal as they are rain-fed rivers i.e. they are filled up only by rain water. they do not have a water source which can provide them water like the rivers of the northern plains which are fed by the glaciers of Himalayas.

Answer 2

Peninsular rivers are not ideal for navigation because these are not perennial rivers and the presence of sharp bends and waterfalls hinders navigational activities.
