Himalayan rivers are the watercourses that arise from Himalayan ranges and are perennial in nature. On the contrary, Peninsular rivers are the ones that originate from the Western Ghats and are non-perennial.Himalayan Rivers are described as the rivers that arise from Himalayan mountain ranges, which receive water from both rain and melted snow from glaciers. The Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra are the three important Himalayan Rivers. These help in irrigation and cultivation of dry areas and farms, throughout the year.Peninsular Rivers are the seasonal rivers as their flow primarily relies on the rainfall. These rivers experience a reduction in the flow of water, even if they are long, during the dry season. They are characterised with short and shallow courses.
