The Ganga River System
The Ganga River System
The Ganga River System:
This system starts as the Bhagirathi (Headwaters of Ganga) being fed by the Gangotri glacier in Uttarakhand. It is joined by the Alaknanda river at Devaprayag to form the Ganga. At Haridwar, the Ganga emerges from the mountains on to the plains. Many of the Ganga’s tributaries like the Yamuna, Ghaghara, Gandak and Kosi are major rivers which flow down from the Himalayas. The river Yamuna rises from the Yamunotri glacier in the Himalayas. It flows parallel to the Ganga as a right bank tributary. It meets the Ganga at Allahabad. The Ghaghara, the Gandak and the Kosi rise in the Nepal Himalayas. Every year they flood parts of the Northern plains, causing destruction and damage to life and property, but also enriching the soil of agricultural lands. The Ganga’s main tributaries which come from the Peninsular uplands are the Chambal, the Betwa and the Son. These rise from semi-arid areas, have shorter courses and do not carry much water in them. The Ganga flows eastwards till Farakka in West Bengal. Here it divides into two branches and, forms a distributary known as the Bhagirathi-Hooghly (also called Hughli), which flows Southward to Kolkata and the Bay of Bengal. The main stream of the Ganga flows into Bangladesh, where it is joined by the Brahmaputra coming from Assam to form the Meghna. This mighty river system, flows into the Bay of Bengal. This forms the Sunderban delta when it reaches the Bay of Bengal.
