Answer:
Life in Ganga Brahmaputra Basin :
The Ganga Brahmaputra basin is situated at 10°N to 30°N in the sub-tropical region. The basin is formed as a result of the many tributaries from Ganga and Brahmaputra river. Some of the tributaries of Ganga or the Ganges joining the basin are the Ghaghra, the Son, the Gandhak, the Chambal, and the Kosi. The tributaries of the Brahmaputra joining the basin are Teesta and Meghna.
Climate :
As the basin lies in the sub-tropical region of the Northern hemisphere of the planet, the climate here is hot in summers and cool in winters. Being a monsoon-dominated area, the basin faces heavy rainfalls between the months of June and September.
Diverse Topography :
Population in the basin depends upon weather and environmental conditions. For example, we find a lesser population in mountainous areas of Ganga river and Brahmaputra as compared to the plain areas surrounding the basin. The steep slopes of the mountains here make this place inhabitable. The plain areas for various reasons like fertility and farming are the most opted by humans for settlements. The land near the basin is highly fertile and makes it perfect for agriculture.
Wildlife :
The Ganga Brahmaputra basin is house to a varied wildlife as well. Tigers, Elephants, Deer and monkeys are the most common. Apart from these one-horned Rhinoceros, crocodiles, alligators and Bengal tiger are a common sight in the delta. Rohu, Hilsa, Catla and Susu (Blind Dolphin) are the aquatic animals present in abundance in the rivers and lakes adjoining the basin.
