Himalayan Rivers
The Himalayan Rivers are major watercourses that originate from the Himalaya mountain range, primarily in India, Nepal, and Tibet. These rivers, including the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Indus, play a crucial role in the ecology and economy of the region. They provide water for drinking, agriculture, and hydroelectric power, supporting millions of people.
These rivers are characterized by their fast-flowing waters and deep gorges, shaped by the steep terrain of the Himalayas. They also contribute to the formation of fertile plains as they flow downstream, creating rich agricultural areas. The rivers are vital for biodiversity and are home to various aquatic species.
