Indus
River System
The Indus originates
in the northern slopes of the Kailash range in Tibet near Lake Manasarovar. It
follows a north-westerly course through Tibet. It enters Indian territory in
Jammu and Kashmir. It forms a picturesque gorge in this part. Several
tributaries - the Zaskar, the Shyok, the Nubra and the Hunza join it in the
Kashmir region. It flows through the regions of Ladakh, Baltistan and Gilgit
and runs between the Ladakh Range and the Zaskar Range. It crosses the
Himalayas through a 5181 m deep gorge near Attock, lying north of the Nanga
Parbat and later takes a bend to the south west direction before entering
Pakistan. It has a large number of tributaries in both India and Pakistan and
has a total length of about 2897 km from the source to the point near Karachi
where it falls into the Arabian Sea. The main tributaries of the Indus in India
are Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej.
Brahmaputra
River System
The Brahmaputra
originates in the Mansarovar lake, also the source of the Indus and the Satluj.
It is slightly longer than the Indus, but most of its course lies outside
India. It flows eastward, parallel to the Himalayas. Reaching Namcha Barwa
(7757 m), it takes a U-turn around it and enters India in Arunachal Pradesh and
known as dihang. The undercutting done by this river is of the order of 5500
metres. In India, it flows through Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, and is joined
by several tributaries.
Ganga
River System
The Ganga (Ganges)
rises from the Gangotri Glacier in the Garhwal Himalayas at an elevation of
some 4100 metres above the sea level under the name of Bhagirathi. This main stream
of the river flows through the Himalayas till another two streams – the
Mandakini and the Alaknanda – join it at Dev Prayag, the point of confluence.
The combined stream is then known as the Ganga. The main tributaries of the
Ganga are Yamuna, Ram Ganga, Gomati, Ghaghara, Son, Damodar and Sapt Kosi. The
river after traversing a distance of 2525 kms from its source meets the Bay of
Bengal at Ganga Sagar in West Bengal.
Yamuna
River System
The River Yamuna
originates from the Yamunotri glacier, 6387m above mean sea level (msl), at the
Banderpoonch peak in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. The catchment of
the river extends to states of Uttar Pradesh,Himachal Pradesh, Haryana,
Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh and the entire union territory of Delhi. The river
flows 1367 km from here to its confluence with the River Ganga at Allahabad.
The main tributaries joining the river include the Hindon, Chambal, Sind, Betwa
and Ken. The annual flow of the river is about 10,000 cumecs. The annual usage
is 4400 cumecs, irrigation accounting for 96% of this.
Narmada
River System
The Narmada or
Nerbudda is a river in central India. It forms the traditional boundary between
North India and South India, and is a total of 1,289 km (801 mi) long. Of the
major rivers of peninsular India, only the Narmada, the Tapti and the Mahi run
from east to west. It rises on the summit of Amarkantak Hill in Madhya Pradesh
state, and for the first 320 kilometres (200 miles) of its course winds among
the Mandla Hills, which form the head of the Satpura Range; then at Jabalpur,
passing through the 'Marble Rocks', it enters the Narmada Valley between the
Vindhya and Satpura ranges, and pursues a direct westerly course to the Gulf of
Cambay. Its total length through the states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and
Gujarat amounts to 1312 kilometres (815 miles), and it empties into the Arabian
Sea in the Bharuch district of Gujarat.
Tapti
River System
The Tapi is a river of
central India. It is one of the major rivers of peninsular India with the
length of around 724 km; it runs from east to west. It rises in the eastern
Satpura Range of southern Madhya Pradesh state, and flows westward, draining
Madhya Pradesh's historic Nimar region, Maharashtra's historic Khandesh and
east Vidarbha re-gions in the northwest corner of the Deccan Plateau and South
Gujarat before emptying into the Gulf of Cambay of the Arabian Sea, in the
State of Gujarat. The Western Ghats or Sahyadri range starts south of the Tapti
River near the border of Gujarat and Maharashtra. The Tapi River Basin lies
mostly in northern and eastern districts Maharashtra state viz, Amravati,
Akola, Buldhana, Washim, Jalgaon, Dhule, Nandurbar, Malegaon, Nashik districts
but also covers Betul, Burhanpur districts of Madhya Pradesh and Surat district
in Gujarat as well. The principal tributaries of Tapi River are Purna River,
Girna River, Panzara River, Waghur River, Bori River and Aner River.</p>
Godavari
River System
The river with second
longest course within India, Godavari is often referred to as the Vriddh (Old)
Ganga or the Dakshin (South) Ganga. The name may be apt in more ways than one,
as the river follows the course of Ganga's tragedy. The river is about 1,450 km
(900 miles) long. It rises at Trimbakeshwar, near Nasik and Mumbai (formerly
Bombay) in Maharashtra around 380 km distance from the Arabian Sea, but flows
southeast across south-central India through the states of Madhya Pradesh,
Karnataka, Orissa and Andhra Pradesh, and empties into the Bay of Bengal. At
Rajahmundry, 80 km from the coast, the river splits into two streams thus
forming a very fertile delta. Some of its tributaries include Indravati River,
Manjira, Bindusara and Sabari. Some important urban centers on its banks
include Nasik, Bhadrachalam, Rajahmundry and Narsapur. The Asia's largest
rail-cum-road bridge on the river Godavari linking Kovvur and Rajahmundry is
considered to be an engineering feat.
Krishna
River System
The Krishna is one of
the longest rivers of India (about 1300 km in length). It originates at
Mahabaleswar in Maharashtra, passes through Sangli and meets the sea in the Bay
of Bengal at Hamasaladeevi in Andhra Pradesh. The Krishna River flows through
the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The traditional source
of the river is a spout from the mouth of a statue of a cow in the ancient
temple of Mahadev in Mahabaleshwar. Its most important tributary is the
Tungabhadra River, which itself is formed by the Tunga and Bhadra rivers that
originate in the Western Ghats. Other tributaries include the Koyna, Bhima,
Mallaprabha, Ghataprabha, Yerla, Warna, Dindi, Musi and Dudhganga rivers.
Cauveri
River System
The Cauveri (also
spelled Kavery) is one of the great rivers of India and is considered sacred by
the Hindus. This river is also called Dakshin Ganga. The headwaters are in the
Western Ghats range of Karnataka state, and flows from Karnataka through Tamil
Nadu. It empties into the Bay of Bengal. Its waters have supported irrigated
agriculture for centuries, and the Cauveri has been the lifeblood of the
ancient kingdoms and modern cities of South India. The source of the river is Talakaveri
located in the Western Ghats about 5,000 feet (1,500 m) above sea level. It
flows generally south and east for around 765 km, emptying into the Bay of
Bengal through two principal mouths. Its basin is estimated to be 27,700 square
miles (71,700 km²), and it has many tributaries including Shimsha, Hemavati,
Arkavathy, Kapila, Honnuhole, Lakshmana Tirtha, Kabini, Lokapavani, Bhavani,
Noyyal and Famous Amaravati.
Mahanadi
River System
The Mahanadi River
system is the third largest in the peninsula of India and the largest river of
Orissa state. The basin (80º30’–86º50’ E and 19º20’–23º35’ N) extends over an
area approximately 141,600 km2, has a total length of 851 km and an
annual runoff of 50X109 m3 with a peak discharge
of 44740 m3 s-1. The basin is characterized by
a tropical climate with average annual rainfall of 142 cm (NWDA, 1981) with 90%
occurring during the SW-monsoon. The river begins in the Baster hills of Madhya
Pradesh flows over different geological formations of Eastern Ghats and
adjacent areas and joins the Bay of Bengal after divided into different
branches in the deltaic area. The main branches of River Mahanadi meet Bay of
Bengal at Paradip and Nuagarh (Devi estuary). The tidal estuarine part of the
river covers a length of 40 km and has a basin area of 9 km2. Based
on physical characteristics, the estuary has been characterized as a partially
mixed coastal plain estuary.
