Situated in the Northern half of the Indian sub continent, the Ganga-
Brahmaputra basin constitutes the second largest hydrologic region in
the world. The total drainage area of the basin region is about 17 4 million
hectare spreading over India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan in South
Asia and Tibet region of China north of Himalayan divide. Nestled amidst
the natural watersheds of Himalayas in the north (and beyond into Tibet),
Vindhayas in the south, the Aravalis in the west, Patkai, Naga and
Lushai hills in the east. The Ganga-Brahmaputra basin is a single,
sprawling, integrated, transboundary drainage system with a common
terminus. The basin consists of two major river systems of the Ganga and
the Brahmaputra and one relatively smaller river system of the Barak,
which becomes the Meghna in Bangladesh.
About 63 percent of the basin is in India, 7 percent in Bangladesh, 8
percent in Nepal, and 2.5 per cent in Bhutan. Almost 10 percent of the
world's humanity lives in this region, which contains only 1.2 percent of
the landmass.
The Physical Geography of the Ganga-Brahmaputra Basin
The Ganga-Brahmaputra basin can broadly be divided into four
geographical regions the Himalayan zone, the Great Plains, hilly areas of
east and hill and plateau tracts of the south.
