The Ganga River System
The Ganga originates from the Gangotri Glacier in Uttarakhand in the form of
Bhagirathi river.
The Bhagirathi and the Alaknanda rivers join together at Devprayag and form
the Ganga river. The Ganga enters the plains at Haridwar in Uttarakhand.
Major tributaries of the Ganga are the Yamuna, the Ghaghara, the Gandak and
the Kosi.
The Yamuna originates from the Yamunotri Glacier in the Himalayas and joins
Ganga at Allahabad.
The Kosi, the Ghaghara and the Gandak originate from the Nepal Himalayas.
They are flood prone rivers and cause heavy damage to life and property during
floods.
The Chambal, the Betwa and the Son are the tributaries of the Ganga that
originate from the peninsular plateau.
The Northenmost point of the Ganga delta is Farakka in West Bengal. The river
splits here and Bhagirathi-Hooghly (distributary) flows south into the Bay of
Bengal; the main stream is joined by the Brahmaputra in Bangladesh and
eventually falls into the Bay of Bengal forming the Sunderbans delta. Length of
the Ganga is 2400 km.
The Brahmaputra River System
The Brahmaputra originates in Tibet, very close to the origins of the Indus and
the Satluj.
It flows from West to East parallel to the Himalayas and enters India through
Arunachal Pradesh after taking a U-turn at Namcha Barwa.
It is called Dihang in Arunachal Pradesh and is joined by tributaries such as the
Lohit and the Dibang.These together form the Brahmaputra in Assam.
Brahmaputra creates many riverine islands, the largest in the world being Majuli
(in Assam).
The Brahmaputra is a flood prone river owing to huge deposits of silt on its bed
that cause the overflowing of the river during monsoons.
The Godavari is joined by a number of tributaries such as the Purna, the Wardha, the Pranhita, the Manjra, the Wainganga and the Penganga. The last three tributaries are very large. Because of its length and the area it covers, it is also known as the ‘Dakshin Ganga’.
