Indian River System

• The Indian River System may be classified into several categories. It may be separated into two portions based on water release: the Arabian Sea Sewage and also the Bay of Bengal Sewage . They are divided by the Aravallis, and the Sahyadris
• Drainage wetlands throughout India are classified as important river waterways with watersheds areas greater than 20,000 square kilometers (such as the River Ganges, Brahmaputra, Krishna, Tapi, Narmada, and others), drainage canals with catchment zones among 2000 and 20,000 square kilometers (such as the drainage of the rivers Kalindi, Periyar, and Meghna), and small river watersheds with catchment regions only about 2000 square kilometers
• The drainage pattern within India is divided into two types based on its source, nature, and features: Himalayan sewage and the peninsular river system in India

The Himalayan Sewerage System

• The Himalayan draining mechanism has developed over a prolonged geological time. The majority of the Himalayas stream channel is continuous (rivers are nourished by melted ice and rainfall), implying they possess water all year
• They get their water from melting snow from high Himalayas and heavy rains. Two main Himalayan streams, the Indus and also the brahmaputra river system in India, flow from the northward of the mountainous regions (Trans Himalayan Rivers). They carved canyons across the mountains
• The Himalayan streams go long distances from their headwaters to the ocean. Those rivers flow through massive canyons created by erosion and deposition events occurring synchronously with the Himalayan uplift
• Other eruptive structures that version include V-shaped basins, cascades, and waterfalls. Depositional features such as oxbow lagoons, flood flats, and braided waterways develop throughout the mid and bottom routes of these streams
• The Himalayas Streams have a twisting and quick path in the higher sections, but they have a significant meandering propensity and change their paths in the plains

The Himalayan Sewage System’s Development

• Throughout the Miocene era, geologists thought that a huge river named IndoBrahma and maybe Shivalik traveled the entire length (longitudinal range) of the Himalayas from Guwahati to the Punjab Provinces and ultimately flowed into the Bay of Sindh (5-24 million years ago)
• This interpretation is supported by Shivalik’s exceptional uniformity and its lacustrine (lake-associated) and alluvial layers of sands, mud, and rocks
• It is thought that throughout time, the enormous Indo-Brahma stream split into three major drainage channels: the Indus, including its five branches throughout the western, the Ganga including its numerous streams in the center, and the Brahmaputra throughout the east
• This segmentation was caused by Pleistocene instability across the west Himalayas, namely the elevation of Indian Potwar Plateau (Delhi Range), which served as a hydrological barrier between the Ganga river system in India and Indus sewage systems
• Additionally, throughout geological mid-Pleistocene time, the downward shoving of that Malda breach zone between the Rajmahal highlands and low Meghalaya plateau split the Ganga water resource from that brahmaputra river system in India and channeled these twin flowing rivers towards the Bay of Bengal

The Sewage of the Indus River System

• 11, 65,000 square kilometers (in total). This covers 321,289 square kilometers across India. This runs for a whole of 2880 kilometers (1114 km. in India)
• At an elevation of 4164 meters, the river starts from the Bokhar Chu glacial ice within the Kailash region near Mansarovar Lake of Tibet. Throughout Tibet, this is known as Singi Khamban, meaning the lion’s mouth
• The River travels westward and reaches India via Jammu & Kashmir (between both the Ladakh and Zanskar hills), then via Himachal Pradesh and Punjab before entering Pakistan around Chillar within the Dardistan area
• It passes through the Ladakh region, forming a beautiful canyon near Gilgit, Jammu & Kashmir. This has several branches across Pakistan and India, with an overall length of roughly 2880 kilometers from its headwaters to the region around, Karachi where this falls into the Gulf Sea
• The river travels southerly to meet the ‘Panchnad’ – Satluj, Ravi, Beas, Chenab, then Jhelum, just before Mithankot. Satluj, Ravi, Beas, Chenab, Jhelum, Zanskar, Nubra and Shyok, and Hunza are the rivers that make up the Indus water system
• Jhelum is indeed a major stream of that Indus River that flows from a source near Verinag inside the south-east Kashmir region. It runs past Srinagar then the Wular Body of water prior reaching Pakistan throughout a steep, narrow valley. It connects into Chenab around Jhang of Pakistan. Chenab seems to be Indus’s greatest tributary
