The Brahmaputra River System

The Brahmaputra River System:

The Brahmaputra rises in Tibet, east of Mansarowar lake which is very close to the sources of the Indus and the Satluj. It flows Eastward parallel to the Himalayas till it reaches the Namcha Barwa mountain (7757m) where it takes a ‘U’ turn and enters India in Arunachal Pradesh through a gorge. Here, it is called the Dihang, It is slightly longer than the Indus and most of its course lies outside India. It is joined by many tributaries like Dibang, Lohit etc to form the Brahmaputra in Assam. It carries very little silt and water from Tibet as it is a cold and dry area. In Assam it carries a large amount of water and large amount of silt because Assam is a high rainfall area. It has a braided channel, in Assam, forming many riverine islands
